Rachel Peters

Rachel Peters, Percheron horses, Plainville, CT in Hartford County and near Hartford, raises sturdy draft horses on a three-generation farm. She has more than a decade of hands-on experience, maintains membership in the American Percheron Horse Association, and follows recommended veterinary screenings including annual dental exams and parasite control. Her horses live in spacious, well-drained paddocks with shelter access and enjoy daily turnout alongside gentle geldings, which helps foster calm temperaments and social skills.

The herd includes horses raised under natural hoof care and a rotational grazing system across multiple pastures to promote strong joints, healthy weight and overall resilience. Owners note the horses' steady nature, willingness to learn and reliable work ethic, qualities that suit them for traditional farm applications, driving competitions or recreational riding projects.
