Mauriann

Mauriann, a Percheron breeder in Chehalis, WA, in the Pacific Northwest near Olympia, has been raising and training draft horses for more than fifteen years. Maureen Harkcom is an active member of the American Percheron Horse Association and follows regular health testing protocols to ensure soundness and breed integrity.

The herd grazes on rolling grass pastures with daily turnout and early socialization among a small farm family, fostering a calm barn environment. Foals receive gentle ground-driving introductions and desensitization exercises that build confidence and responsiveness. The breeding program focuses on preserving strength and a calm disposition in each new generation.

They follow a forage-based diet supplemented with balanced minerals and vitamins to support healthy growth and muscle development. Many graduates find roles in light draft work or community demonstrations, reflecting the emphasis on temperament and versatility. Prospective owners receive detailed foal dossiers, including growth records and veterinary updates.
