Po'Boy Farm

Po’Boy Farm specializes in Suffolk Punch horses in Nickelsville, Virginia, Scott County and the Appalachian Highlands near Bristol. Chad Miano has focused on preserving this rare draft breed for more than a decade, with membership in a national draft horse registry and routine screening for soundness and genetic conditions.

The herd grazes on rolling pastures with access to spacious shelters, and foals are raised with early handling to foster calm dispositions. Visitors often remark on the trust and responsiveness these horses display during light farm work. Their foals come with detailed pedigree records and guidance on nutrition and training, ensuring families feel supported as they integrate a Suffolk Punch into their routines. Several farm-bred horses have earned ribbon placements at regional draft horse competitions, showcasing their strength and temperament. The farm’s setting on historic agricultural land adds to its tranquil atmosphere and reflects a commitment to time-honored husbandry.
