He has been involved in Percheron breeding for several years and participates in recognized equine associations to ensure adherence to breed standards.

Horses are raised on open pasture with daily turnout, early handling and familiarization with farm chores to promote calm, adaptable animals. The farm’s emphasis on traditional draft horse heritage supports a legacy of sturdy working stock maintained through thoughtful management. With attention to balanced muscling and steady dispositions, these horses are suited for both agricultural tasks and leisurely trail riding.
