Pennwoods
Pennwoods, Percheron horses, Centre Hall, PA, Centre County and central Pennsylvania near Harrisburg, have been home to a family-run draft horse breeding operation for decades. Chad and Rhonda Cole are longtime members of the Percheron Horse Association and conduct routine health screens including x-rays and genetic testing under equine veterinary guidance.
Their program emphasizes pasture-based husbandry on rolling acres, daily handling sessions and early exposure to farm equipment to develop calm, service-ready temperaments. Foals grow up underfoot in the barnyard, socialized alongside livestock and family visits to foster trust and adaptability. Visitors often remark on the farm’s pace and the horses’ steady responses during introductory carts and light-work demonstrations.
Stock from Pennwoods has been featured at regional fairs and recognized for blending traditional draft strength with approachable manners in therapeutic settings. The Coles maintain detailed records for each foal, ensuring transparency for prospective partners seeking a solid foundation in this historic breed.
