Jeff Laird

Jeff Laird, Percherons, Briscoe, TX, is based in the Texas Panhandle near Amarillo. He has been breeding Percherons for over ten years, maintains registration with the American Percheron Horse Association, and carries out annual health checks on all stock.

Horses are raised on open pasture with round-the-clock turnout and daily handling to encourage calm temperaments. The farm uses rotational grazing systems to promote pasture health and hoof strength. Each animal receives a tailored diet of local forage supplemented by grains, and a heated barn provides shelter during harsher months. Foals are introduced to basic harness work and light groundwork before weaning.

Visitors often remark on the herd’s steady disposition and balanced structure, and Laird regularly attends regional draft horse seminars to refine stock quality alongside fellow breeders. Laird shares breeding records and supports new owners through early training to help foals adapt smoothly to draft or farm duties.
