Jeni Cotton

Jeni Cotton breeds Percheron horses in Hazlehurst, MS, within Southern Mississippi near Hattiesburg. She has been raising draft horses for more than a decade, holds membership in the American Percheron Horse Association, and health-tests each mare and stallion before breeding. Her horses live on spacious, cedar-fenced pastures with year-round turnout, and foals receive daily handling to foster confidence and human trust.

The farm’s training approach blends gentle groundwork with light harness exercises to develop balanced gaits and steady temperaments. In winter months, Jeni rotates pastures to preserve forage quality and supplements diets with locally sourced hay. She also participates in regional equine clinics to stay informed on welfare standards and training techniques. A local equine enthusiast noted the calm demeanor of Jeni’s foals during early handling sessions. From the careful selection of bloodlines to consistent farrier and dental care, each Percheron reflects the farm’s steady commitment to well-being and temperament.
