Jim Husted

Jim Husted breeds Percherons in Milton, FL, Santa Rosa County and the Florida Panhandle near Pensacola. He and his wife, Erica Husted, follow recognized breed standards and participate in registry inspections, ensuring each foal undergoes veterinary evaluations and regular hoof and dental care. Years of careful selection have informed their approach to breeding for sound conformation and calm disposition. The horses are raised on open pastures with daily turnout and early socialization to foster steady temperaments.

Their farm reflects a respect for the draft horse tradition, combining hands-on handling with patient groundwork. Local riders often comment on the gentle willingness of the mares and geldings in light farm work. Jim Husted values clear communication with owners, including transparent updates on health and development throughout every stage of training. Occasional educational events showcase Percheron care and harness work demonstrations on the farm.
