Sam Slate

Sam Slate, Percheron horses, Maidens, VA, has built a reliable breeding program in Goochland County and central Virginia near Richmond. With more than a decade of careful breeding, Sam Slate holds memberships in national Percheron associations and follows recommended health protocols, including regular farrier and veterinary evaluations.

Each horse is raised in pasture-based environments with daily socialization to ensure steady temperament and strong bonds with handlers. Several owners praise the attentive foaling process and calm dispositions of young Percherons. Natural turnout and covered shelters allow year-round comfort, and foals receive early handling to foster confidence.

Foals are weaned gently, and adult Percherons have ample space for gentle work in small-scale agriculture, reflecting the farm’s commitment to traditional practices. Careful selection focuses on soundness, balanced conformation and willingness to work, traits that define each foal. The farm’s program has produced registry-approved foals each year, supporting draft horse enthusiasts across the region.
