Sheila O'Risky

Sheila O’Risky is a Percheron horse breeder in Boonville, IN, serving southwestern Indiana near Evansville. She has more than ten years of experience raising draft horses on a family-run property and participates in the Percheron Horse Association, ensuring all animals receive routine veterinary and hoof care. Herds graze in open pastures bordered by woods and a small pond, where each mare and foal enjoys ample space and fresh water.

Foals are raised with daily handling to encourage calm temperaments and strong social bonds. Early ground driving and basic grooming begin before weaning to build trust and confidence. Each horse thrives on a balanced diet of high-quality forage and is turned out daily on lush pasture. Visitors often remark on the calm temperaments and solid conformation that reflect the farm’s attentive care. Broodmares are selected for soundness and temperament, preserving the breed’s heritage and reliability.
