Helene Burton

Helene Burton raises Percheron horses in Fountain, Colorado, in El Paso County and the Colorado Springs area. She is a longtime member of regional draft horse associations and follows recommended health screening protocols for all breeding stock. Burton’s horses live on open pastures with daily turnout, and foals are handled gently from birth to encourage trust and calm temperaments.

The farm combines traditional draft horse husbandry with balanced nutrition tailored to Percheron needs, ensuring steady growth and sound structure. Visitors note the horses’ steady gait and willingness under saddle or harness, qualities that reflect careful selection of bloodlines. With supportive soil and water resources on rolling grassland, the operation provides a stable environment where each horse can thrive.

Her foals receive early exposure to leading and grooming routines, easing their transition to performance or family farms. Breeding decisions balance conformation, temperament and genetic health to support the legacy of the Percheron breed.
