Donna Eckwortzel

Donna Eckwortzel breeds Percheron horses in Granite Bay, CA in Placer County and the Sierra Nevada foothills near Sacramento. She has more than fifteen years of experience with the American Percheron Association and maintains thorough health testing for her stallions and broodmares, including regular veterinary evaluations and genetic screening.

Her farm combines roomy paddocks and stall housing, allowing horses to graze and retreat as needed, and she begins gentle handling with foals within days of birth to support social development. Each young horse receives basic groundwork and exposure to farm machinery under calm supervision, reflecting her belief in steady, confident training.

Several of her Percherons have placed in regional draft horse shows and contribute to light farm work that demonstrates their strength and focus. Clients often remark on her clear communication and commitment to matching each horse’s temperament and skills with appropriate opportunities.
