She has been active in Percheron breeding for more than a decade on her family-run farm, participating in Percheron Horse Association events and maintaining meticulous herd records.

All brood stock undergo annual veterinary health screenings, including hoof, dental, and genetic evaluations. Foals are born in family-run barn surroundings, receive early imprinting sessions within 24 hours, and spend daylight hours on rolling pastures with natural forage-based diets. Franklin’s approach to low-stress handling and daily turnout supports calm temperaments and structural soundness.

Her horses are valued by driving enthusiasts and ranchers for their steady disposition and reliable work ethic. Local equestrian communities appreciate her transparent updates and thoughtful care throughout the breeding process. The farm’s proximity to wooded trails and open fields creates a balanced environment that encourages natural behaviors.
