Heather Scott, Percheron horses, Xenia, OH, in Greene County and the Miami Valley near Dayton. She has been breeding Percheron horses for over a decade, adheres to standards set by the American Percheron Horse Association, and schedules regular soundness evaluations with a local veterinarian. All of her horses enjoy daily turnout on rotational pastures with fresh hay and receive consistent handling from foalhood to encourage a calm, trainable demeanor.

The farm features century-old barns that blend practical design with sheltered stalls and open runs, reflecting a balance of tradition and comfort. Visitors often note the gentle nature of the foals and their bright, inquisitive expressions fostered through early socialization in a family atmosphere.
