Linda Ford

Linda Ford raises Percheron horses in Bristol, WI, Kenosha County and southeast Wisconsin near Milwaukee. She has been involved in Percheron breeding for more than a decade and holds membership in the Percheron Horse Association alongside veterinarians and fellow enthusiasts. Her breeding stock undergoes regular veterinary evaluations and genetic screening to promote sturdy bone structure, healthy joints, and calm temperaments. Foals are born in open barns with pasture access and receive daily handling to encourage social confidence and ease of training. Linda’s focus on gentle groundwork and regular farrier visits supports sound hooves and fosters trust between horse and handler. Linda welcomes visitors by appointment to see the gentle giants at work on the family-run property.

The farm traces its working roots to her grandparents’ dairy operation, combining traditional care with modern husbandry. Several horses have placed in regional pulling competitions, and pasture reviews often note well-mannered, adaptable animals suitable for farm, show, and recreational use.
