Joe Cotterino

Joe Cotterino, Percheron, Pine Grove, PA, Schuylkill County and the Susquehanna Valley near Harrisburg specializes in breeding draft horses known for steady temperaments and solid conformation. He has been working with these bloodlines for more than a decade and follows national Percheron guidelines, including regular health screenings for all breeding stock.

Horses grow up in pasture-based herds with rotational grazing, natural forage and barns fitted with organic bedding for seasonal comfort. Early handling includes halter training, exposure to farm sounds and gentle introductions to harness work. Focus on calm dispositions has made his foals well suited for therapy programs, farm demonstrations and family farms looking for reliable partners.

Record keeping details lineage, health clearances and seasonal performance reviews to support transparency with each sale. Prospective owners are welcome to visit the farm and see foals interact with adult mentors in a natural turnout setting. This careful approach ensures each horse leaves the farm healthy, socialized and ready to thrive in diverse working or recreational roles.
