Draft Horse Connection

Draft Horse Connection, Percheron breeder in Watseka, Illinois, is located in East Central Illinois near Champaign. Its program has grown steadily for more than a decade, and as active members of the Percheron Horse Association they follow breed standards and maintain thorough veterinary health records and genetic screenings.

Mares and foals share open pastures with mixed-age herds, where they have year-round access to sturdy shelters, fresh water and nutrient-rich forage. Daily handling and gradual introduction to farm equipment and harness work help horses develop calm, responsive temperaments suited to both field tasks and pleasure driving. Several offspring have earned ribbons at local draft horse shows, and others support community agricultural events to demonstrate traditional working horse skills.

Visitors note the farm’s welcoming atmosphere and the horses’ gentle nature in feedback. The family-run operation honors a working horse heritage while selecting for soundness, longevity and adaptable conformation in each new generation. Natural pasture rotation, seasonal feeding adjustments and turnout schedules support digestive health and sturdy bone structure.
