Rebecca Bowling

Rebecca Bowling breeds Percherons in Chicago, Illinois, in the central United States. She has welcomed foals for several seasons and maintains memberships with national and regional equine associations. Her breeding stock receives routine veterinary health screenings, dental care, and farrier visits while grazing on open pastures designed for regular exercise.

The farm’s roots stretch back two generations, and this heritage informs her steady commitment to thoughtful animal stewardship. Each mare and colt is introduced to early handling, daily grooming, and supervised turnout, nurturing calm temperaments and trust. Visitors often note the horses’ solid build and patient disposition during tours of the stable and adjacent riding trails. Conversations with visitors reflect a community of mutual respect and shared appreciation for the Percherons’ gentle strength. Several Percherons have taken part in regional draft competitions and small-group therapy programs for veterans and children.
