Mary Macdougal

Mary Macdougal is a Percheron horse breeder in Raleigh, NC, in the Piedmont region near Durham. She adheres to American Percheron Horse Association health-testing and registry guidelines and has participated in regional equine breeder seminars. Her foals are raised with daily handling, pasture turnout and socialization programs designed to foster a calm, confident start.

Horses from her farm are recognized for steady temperaments and sturdy builds suited for farm work or pleasure driving. A custom-built broodmare barn ensures new foals enjoy a secure first week, and open pastures offer gentle exercise as they mature. Many local owners note the horses’ willingness to learn and adapt, reflecting the breeder’s hands-on approach and ongoing support. On-farm facilities include heated wash stalls, turnout paddocks and age-specific feeding schedules that promote long-term well-being. Operations are guided by a family tradition of draft-horse breeding, with each generation contributing evolving husbandry practices.
