Gabriela Van Meter

Gabriela Van Meter, Percheron(s), Woodbury, TN, serves Cannon County and Middle Tennessee near Nashville. She draws on a commitment to breed standards with participation in national equestrian associations, routine health evaluations and annual veterinary examinations to promote sound conformation and durable health. Animals are raised on generous pastures with access to shelter and fresh water, while balanced feeding plans, regular hoof trimming and daily hands-on interaction help develop gentle temperaments and sturdy physiques.

Early halter work and groundwork introduce foals to basic commands, with attention to herd dynamics so each colt or filly gains confidence through shared turnout and social learning. Visitors note the farm’s relaxed pace and the horses’ poised bearing, reflecting Gabriela’s hands-on style and the farm’s emphasis on respectful handling from birth onward. The quiet rural setting near wooded ridges provides a natural backdrop for training that balances physical conditioning with mental enrichment in a calm environment.
