Descansa

Descansa are Percheron breeders in Walnut Grove, MO, serving Greene County and the Ozarks near Springfield. They focus on sound bloodlines and ensure stallions and mares are evaluated for conformation and joint health through annual veterinary exams.

Foals grow up in small family groups with daily handling from birth, while older horses enjoy open pastures in summer and roomy stalls with daily turnout in winter. John T. Billings and Connie Sue Billings bring years of combined experience in livestock care, shaping a patient approach to socialization and training.

Their farm balances traditional draft-horse husbandry with consistent daily routines to support each horse’s physical and mental well-being. Their Percherons often excel in local show circuits and wagon demonstrations, reflecting the breed’s strength and calm temperament. Prospective owners appreciate clear health records and detailed guidance on training, a method born from the Billings’ years working with draft horses.
