Joe Garland

Joe Garland, Percheron horse breeder in Bakersville, NC, serves Mitchell County and the Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville. He brings more than 15 years of breeding experience and follows standards set by the American Percheron Horse Association, with routine veterinary evaluations and genetic health assessments.

His horses graze on open fields and have access to clean stables, while daily handling ensures early socialization and steady growth. Foals stay close to their mothers and join gentle group turnout to develop strong bones and calm temperaments.

Clients often highlight the ease of trail riding and farm-work readiness that marks his stock. Raised on a small family homestead, these Percheron horses adapt well to both hobby farms and light draft duties. Winter care includes sheltered barns with heated waterers and high-fiber hay to maintain health through colder months. Prospective owners appreciate the transparent record keeping and follow-up support on training and nutrition.
