Horses are raised on open pastures with daily turnout and receive early socialization through gentle groundwork and regular handling. The farm’s century-old barn serves as a training space where young horses learn basic commands before being introduced to driven harness work. This approach aims to produce a reliable temperament and solid bones suited for farm or show duties. Several young horses regularly participate in regional draft-horse shows, reflecting the farm’s emphasis on balanced movement and strength.

Clients note thorough care records and transparent updates on each foal’s development, signaling a steady commitment to welfare and responsible stewardship. Farm visitors often comment on the peaceful setting and attentive handling by staff.
