Laura Cole

Laura Cole and James Cole are Percheron breeders in Southbury, CT, serving New Haven County and the Housatonic River Valley near New Haven. They have raised Percheron horses for over ten years and maintain membership in the American Percheron Horse Association, adhering to breed standards and annual veterinary health screenings.

Their horses live on a spacious pasture with daily turnout, balanced nutrition, and regular socialization to encourage calm temperaments. All foals receive early handling routines to build trust and confidence in young horses.

Several of their broodmares have produced foals that placed in regional halter classes, reflecting careful selection for conformation and temperament. The farm operates with a focus on sustainable land management and fosters hands-on learning for visitors interested in draft horse care. Routine veterinary dental checks and farrier visits ensure overall well-being and sound hoof care. In winter months the barn is climate controlled to maintain comfort and reduce stress for the horses.
