Richard Chase, Jr

Richard Chase, Jr and Belinda Chase, Percheron breeders in Wells, ME, are based in York County and southern Maine near Portland. They have raised Percheron draft horses for over two decades and maintain memberships with national and regional draft horse associations, ensuring each animal is health tested in accordance with registry guidelines. Their horses are raised in a pasture-based environment where foals grow alongside older mares, and regular handling introduces gentle socialization from an early age.

The farm rests on rolling fields near the Atlantic coastline, offering sturdy shelter barns and open grazing. Their focus on balanced nutrition, routine farrier care, strict biosecurity measures and seasonal vaccinations reflects a hands-on approach that local horse enthusiasts often note in reviews. Some of their horses have competed successfully in local draft horse shows and work trials. Visitors comment on the calm temperament of the horses and the Chases’ openness to discussing breeding goals and bloodlines.
