Joni Carter

Joni Carter and Danial Carter are Percheron breeders in Loomis, NE, in the Platte River valley near Grand Island. They have been raising draft horses for over a decade, maintain active membership in the American Percheron Horse Association, and support annual veterinary soundness exams with routine hoof and joint screenings. Their breeding program emphasizes health and temperament, with mares and foals kept in family-like herd groups on well-drained pasture.

Daily handling from foal stage helps their horses adjust to harness work and gentle ground training. On-site facilities include straw-bedded stables, an all-weather arena, and rotational grazing paddocks to support optimal development. Several alumni have shown in county fairs and local pulling events, reflecting the farm’s steady focus on adaptable, steady-minded Percherons and community engagement. Their commitment extends to matching each horse with suitable homes and offering ongoing guidance to new owners, ensuring lifelong support.
