Jennifer Andersen, Percheron horses, Blue Hill, Nebraska, in the Great Plains near Lincoln. She has been breeding Percheron horses for several years under the standards of national draft horse associations and works with veterinarians for regular soundness evaluations.

Her horses are raised on open pastures and lightly wooded paddocks, receiving daily turnout and early handling to foster calm temperaments. A focus on gentle groundwork and draft training ensures each horse is accustomed to farm chores and family settings. This small family farm on rolling prairie land reflects a commitment to sustainable grazing and positive reinforcement.

Young stock learns to lead in harness by six months, and yearlings join light draft work for tractors and wagons. The stable uses straw bedding and a rotational plan to keep pastures healthy year-round. Owners often note the calm dispositions and sturdy builds suited to farm work or recreational driving.
