Erica Talley

Erica Talley, Percheron horses, Owensville, MO, is based in Gasconade County and the Missouri River Valley near Jefferson City.

She has been breeding Percheron horses for several years and maintains membership in the Percheron Horse Association, overseeing regular veterinary care and hoof inspections. All adult horses undergo routine radiographs and tendon evaluations before breeding. Foals are raised on pasture with daily handling to encourage calm temperaments and early socialization.

Each horse benefits from a balanced diet of local hay, grain mixes, and mineral supplements tailored to Percheron needs. Clients note the relaxed atmosphere of the farm and the clear communication Talley provides at every stage of training and care. Tall shade trees border the pastures for shelter in warm months, and weekly farrier visits support proper hoof growth. The property has been in operation for generations, offering a calm setting where draft traditions are upheld.
