Khaelan Tucker

Khaelan Tucker, Percheron breeder in Harrisville, Rhode Island, works out of Providence County and the Blackstone River Valley near Providence. Tucker has been raising Percherons for over 12 years and holds membership in the Percheron Horse Association of America. All breeding stock undergoes regular vet screenings, assessments by an equine nutritionist and farrier visits to support growth from foal to maturity.

Their farm follows a rotational grazing system with roomy, well-drained paddocks, daily socialization and handling for confident, well-mannered horses. Khaelan’s program emphasizes early groundwork, exposing foals to varied environments, light draft exercises and calm handling around machinery.

Stalls are bedded with locally sourced straw, equipped with rubber mats and natural ventilation to promote clean, healthy living spaces. Seasonal worming and vaccination schedules follow veterinarian guidance, and each animal’s weight and condition are tracked monthly. The emphasis on consistent routines and individual attention shapes Percherons suited for draft work, driving and light farm chores.
