Dorothy Cherry

Dorothy Cherry, Percheron breeder, Canandaigua, NY is located in the Finger Lakes region near Rochester. She has more than a decade of experience raising Percheron horses and registers her stock with the American Percheron Horse Association. Her mares and foals live on rotating grazing pastures bordered by mature oaks, receiving balanced nutrition, routine veterinary checks, and daily handling to support healthy development and social bonds.

Foals are introduced to halters and grooming from birth to promote a calm temperament and adaptability for various riding, driving, or farm-husbandry roles. The farm emphasizes gentle genetics suited for light draft work, driving competitions, and family equestrian activities, with several horses trained for beginner riders. Past owners often comment on the consistent temperament and sound conformations of her horses, along with her clear health documentation. A compact barn layout allows daily interaction with foals and riding stock, reflecting her hands-on approach to breeding.
