Justine Beninati

Justine Beninati, Percheron horses, Deer Trail, CO, on Colorado’s eastern plains near Denver, cares for a small herd selected for strength and temperament. She has focused on Percheron breeding for several years and remains committed to equine welfare and breed conservation. Her operation follows best practices set by national registries, with breeding stock receiving regular veterinary screenings and performance evaluations.

Each mare and stallion lives in pasture-based paddocks, gaining daily turnout and regular handling to foster calm, confident foals. The farm’s approach blends traditional draft horse qualities with gradual introduction to harness work and ground manners. Young stock join weekly training sessions, giving them exposure to farm visitors and light groundwork before weaning. This hands-on socialization aligns with humane husbandry and supports sound development under temperate eastern Colorado conditions. Owners appreciate feedback from local growers who value the horses’ steady temperament in agricultural and recreational settings.
