Misty Knoll's

Misty Knoll's Percherons in New Haven, VT live on pasture in Addison County and the Champlain Valley near Burlington. Owner Andre' Palmer maintains membership in regional equine associations and follows recommended health-testing protocols.

All Percheron horses at Misty Knoll's live in spacious paddocks with three-sided run-in sheds and rotate regularly across lush grazing fields. Andre' oversees daily handling sessions from foalhood to encourage gentle dispositions and works with an equine nutritionist to tailor hay and grain rations. The breeding program focuses on strength, soundness and temperament, reflecting the breed’s draft heritage. The farm’s roots in traditional draft horse breeding are balanced by attention to modern welfare standards, including regular farrier care and veterinary checkups. Visitors often remark on the calm barn atmosphere and the gentle gaits of the young foals and geldings. The layout of oak-shaded paddocks and a nearby stream provides a varied environment that supports natural behaviors.
