Donna Shannon

Donna Shannon breeds Percherons in Woodland, WA, in the Pacific Northwest near Portland. Her Percherons are registered with the Percheron Horse Association of America and receive annual dental and lameness evaluations. Shannon has spent years refining her breeding selections to highlight strength, endurance and steady characters. The horses live on a mixed-grass pasture with sheltered loafing areas and benefit from daily turnout. Early handling around farm equipment and regular groundwork introduce foals to varied stimuli and encourage calm temperaments.

Several of Shannon’s Percherons have gone on to driving events and practical farm work, reflecting her emphasis on versatile performance. The shaded paddocks and open fields support natural movement and help maintain low-stress routines throughout the year. Visitors often remark on the approachable nature of the horses and appreciate Shannon’s willingness to share experiences and insights.
