Garland Farm's

Garland Farm’s Percheron horses in Charlotte, MI, are raised in mid-Michigan near Lansing. William Garland has spent more than a decade caring for Percherons, registering each horse with a recognized draft horse association and overseeing regular health checks. Breeding selections emphasize sound conformation, sturdy bone structure and steady temperament across bloodlines.

The herd lives in rotational pastures bordered by hardwoods, where foals learn to socialize naturally and grow strong in a family farm setting. Foaling occurs in well-lit stalls equipped with 24-hour monitoring to ensure a smooth transition for mare and foal. Winter stabling in renovated barns offers shelter on colder days while leaving ample turnout for exercise. Training follows low-stress handling principles, introducing groundwork before any harness work. Visitors often note the calm temperaments and steady gaits that reflect the farm’s careful attention to both physical development and gentle early handling.
