Elizabeth Armstrong

Elizabeth Armstrong raises Percherons in Templeton, CA, San Luis Obispo County and the Central Coast near San Luis Obispo. She is a dedicated breeder with over a decade of experience and maintains membership in the American Percheron Horse Association while conducting routine health screenings on her mares and stallions.

Her approach emphasizes pasture-based living, daily turnout, and early handling to encourage calm temperaments and solid ground manners. Foals grow up alongside older horses in open barns framed by rolling hills, gaining confidence through gentle desensitization before they find new homes.

Several of her horses have earned ribbons in regional draft horse shows, modest recognition of her careful breeding program. Elizabeth sources locally harvested forage and balances her horses’ diets with tested grains, ensuring steady growth and sound bone development. Clients often note the horses’ even temper and adaptability, whether they work in therapeutic settings or help manage light farm chores.
