Karla Anderson

Karla Anderson breeds Percheron horses in Houlton, ME, in Aroostook County near Presque Isle. She has been involved in Percheron breeding for more than ten years and maintains memberships with regional and national draft horse associations, with all stock enrolled in recognized registries and routinely screened for common draft horse health concerns.

Her farm practices daily turnout on spacious paddocks adjacent to wooded shelter areas, where foals and adults benefit from early socialization and hands-on handling. A former family dairy farm, the property was converted to focus on draft horses five years ago, and several offspring have featured in county fairs and community parades.

Veterinary and farrier care are scheduled on a consistent cycle, and each horse receives customized nutrition plans to support strong growth and a calm disposition. Karla’s emphasis on gentle handling helps maintain a steady temperament that suits both farm work and family environments.
