Lowry Stables

Lowry Stables, Hackney horses, Davis Junction, IL, is a family-owned farm in northwest Illinois near Rockford. Run by Joseph and Judy Lowry, the stables have been breeding Hackney horses for over fifteen years and hold registrations with national equine associations.

Each horse enjoys pasture turnout and individualized training under veterinary guidance, with foals introduced to gentle handling from birth. Their focus on sound temperament has led to several horses successful in harness driving events and therapeutic riding programs. Visitors appreciate the well-kept paddocks and the opportunities to observe daily routines, reflecting the Lowrys’ commitment to transparency and horse welfare.

The stables participate in annual breed inspections and support youth programs aimed at promoting responsible horse ownership. On-site turnout fields and heated barns ensure horses remain comfortable through seasonal weather changes. Foals undergo regular veterinary health screenings and dental care thanks to Joseph Lowry’s veterinary background.
