Jennifer Bowden

Jennifer Bowden, Percheron horses, Citra, FL, Marion County and the Ocala National Forest near Gainesville, operates a family farm with attention to traditional breeding standards. She has been breeding Percheron horses for more than a decade and holds membership in the American Percheron Horse Association. All foals receive regular health screening under guidance from equine veterinarians, and mature animals are raised in spacious paddocks to encourage strong bone development. Jennifer emphasizes daily handling to foster calm temperaments and introduce young horses to basic ground manners before weaning.

The farm sits on gently rolling pastureland, where horses graze alongside a nearby stream under supervision. Visitors often note the horses’ steady gaits and gentle nature, reflecting the many positive testimonials received so far. Annual veterinary checks include joint x-rays, Coggins testing and nutritional consultations to support long-term soundness. Many local trainers commend the horses for their steady disposition and adaptability across farm, show and therapy settings.
