Mary Rose Smith

Mary Rose Smith, Percheron, Osseo, WI, in Trempealeau County and the Eau Claire area, raises versatile carriage horses.
She has worked with Percheron bloodlines for many years under Percheron Horse Association guidelines and maintains routine health screenings and performance evaluations. On-farm turnout areas include sheltered paddocks and roomy stalls cleaned daily to support comfort and hoof care. Foals receive early handling and grooming to foster calm interaction around people and ease future hitch training.

Bloodlines trace back to foundation sires valued for steady temperament in light draft and farm work. Clients note the horses’ reliable response to carriage assignments and composed behavior in group settings. The farm’s peaceful rural location near small grain fields and woodland borders offers a quiet environment that supports positive development. Each horse follows a forage-focused diet balanced with minerals to support strong bone growth and muscle tone.
