John Erskine

John Erskine and Heather Erskine are Percheron breeders in Sequim, WA, serving Clallam County and the Olympic Peninsula near Seattle. They are members of the Percheron Horse Association and enter regional shows while ensuring each horse receives routine veterinary exams, dental and hoof care, and conformation evaluations.

Their program emphasizes turnout on spacious pastures, early handling for social confidence, and exposure to light draft work to build muscle tone. Foals grow up alongside older horses to learn herd dynamics under close supervision and handling is scheduled daily to reinforce trust. Feeding follows a balanced plan of local hay and grain mix tailored to each age and workload, with fresh water accessible at all times.

The farm’s setting on gently rolling fields supports fitness and mental well-being year-round, with shaded areas for rest and trails for gentle conditioning. Owners appreciate the horses’ steady temperaments and sound conformation, qualities nurtured through thoughtful breeding and hands-on attention.
