Juanita Hamilton

Juanita and Kennedy Hamilton are Percheron horse breeders in Avella, PA, in southwestern Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh. They have spent the past fifteen years focusing on sound conformation and gentle temperaments, affiliating with the American Percheron Horse Association and following recommended health screening for hooves, joints and overall well-being. Their horses are raised to enjoy daily turnout on rotational paddocks and regular socialization, and they work closely with local veterinarians and farriers to maintain routine care.

The farm’s lineage includes several working geldings known for steady temperaments on trail rides and light draft work, reflecting a balance of strength and calm. Foals are handled from birth to encourage trust and lead training before weaning, offering a gentle introduction to halter manners. Visitors often note the family’s emphasis on open barn doors, clear communication and respectful handling as hallmarks of their approach.
