Heidi Marquis

Heidi Marquis is a percheron breeder in Canaan, Vermont, in Northeast Vermont near Burlington. She has been working with percherons for several years, following American Percheron Horse Association guidelines and ensuring each horse undergoes regular veterinary evaluations. Her breeding program emphasizes sound conformation and a gentle temperament that suits both farm work and show rings.

The horses are raised on open pastures and receive daily handling to foster calm, cooperative behavior. Foals benefit from early socialization and gradual exposure to farm machinery and visitors. Local owners often note the steady gait and reliable disposition that distinguish her stock.

Each year, several horses from the herd appear at regional agricultural fairs and farm shows, demonstrating traditional draft skills and a composed presence in harness. The herd’s diet includes quality hay, pasture grazing, and customized mineral supplements, while winter shelter and regular farrier care support stout health through all seasons.
