The farm follows a tradition of gentle training and socialization, and visitors often comment on the horses’ calm nature. Focus on core breed standards ensures each Percheron retains the sturdy build and willing attitude prized by enthusiasts. They undergo regular farrier sessions and tailored nutrition plans to support growth and overall health. Seasonal pasture rotations and clean bedding practices are integral to maintaining a comfortable environment year-round.
