Silver Tank

Silver Tank breeds Percheron in Erieville, NY, in the central New York region near Syracuse. It has been breeding Percheron for several years, maintains membership in national breed registries, and follows recommended health screenings with annual veterinary exams and regular hoof care.

The horses are raised on spacious pastures with group turnout and early handling to encourage calm temperaments and reliable manners. The farm began as a family hobby under David E. Johnson and Mary Lou Johnson and has grown into a small program known for solid build and gentle disposition. Several of its foals have placed well at local draft horse shows, reflecting consistent attention to conformation and soundness.

The operation runs year round with well-ventilated barns during colder months and rotational grazing in summer. New owners note Silver Tank’s thorough guidance on nutrition, hoof care, and starting young horses under saddle. It often attends regional draft horse gatherings to stay connected with other enthusiasts and share best practices.
