James Lauga

James Lauga, Percheron breeder in Poplarville, MS, in Pearl River County and the Gulf Coast near New Orleans. With over a decade of hands-on experience, he follows recognized registry standards and maintains regular health screenings for mares and foals. Each horse is raised on spacious pastureland and handled daily in small groups to foster a calm, trusting bond.

All breeding stock undergoes regular evaluations and performance assessments to support sound conformation and longevity. Based on a family farm established generations ago, the facility reflects a deep respect for equine traditions and the draft horse legacy of the region. Young horses spend time alongside other livestock and receive daily interaction with volunteers, local apprentices, and experienced handlers. Horses often appear at regional draft horse gatherings, state fairs, and agricultural shows, where their strength and composure are on display. Visitors can observe daily routines and meet horses of various ages during feeding, turnout, and light harness work demonstrations.
