Michelle Blacconiere

Michelle Blacconiere raises Percheron horses in Waianae, HI, on Oahu near Honolulu. With over ten years of breeding experience, she holds membership in the U.S. Percheron Horse Association and schedules regular Coggins tests, vaccinations and farrier visits for all breeding stock.

Her horses graze coastal pastures rich in volcanic soil and follow a nutritional program tailored for draft breeds, with daily handling from birth to foster calm temperaments. She aims for sturdy conformation and mild dispositions, resulting in versatile animals suited for gentle draft work, light driving and farm demonstrations.

The farm offers spacious paddocks, a covered barn aisle and a sand arena for groundwork, in close collaboration with a local veterinarian and farrier. Owners receive ongoing guidance on training and health care long after placement, reflecting Blacconiere’s hands-on approach and ongoing support network. Visitors often note the serene setting, ocean breezes and thoughtful care that shape every aspect of her breeding program.
