Jeff Hanlin and Rebecca Hanlin breed Percheron horses in Mc Lean, IL, in central Illinois near Bloomington. They have been raising draft horses for over a decade, holding membership with the American Percheron Horse Association and adhering to recommended health screenings for joint and metabolic conditions. Their foals grow up in pasture-based settings, where they learn social skills alongside daily handling to build trust and confidence.

The family-run farm dates back to three generations of draft horse enthusiasts, blending traditional breeding practices with gentle training for farm work and show rings. Clients often note the horses’ calm demeanor and solid bone structure, qualities that ease transitions to breeding, driving, or therapeutic programs. Morning turnout, evening barn checks, and seasonal farrier care ensure each horse receives consistent attention throughout the year. Stalls open onto sunlit paddocks to encourage daily movement and natural forage habits.
