Susan Shelton

Susan Shelton and Stephen Shelton are Percheron breeders in Louisa, VA, in Central Virginia near Charlottesville. They have over a decade of experience and maintain membership in the Percheron Horse Association of America, with regular health screenings following association guidelines. Their breeding program focuses on sound conformation and steady temperaments suited to both draft work and recreational riding and light driving.

The family farm includes hardwood shelters, rotational paddocks seeded with mixed grasses, and a small outdoor arena for early groundwork. Horses live on rotational pastures with access to sheltered stables, and foals receive daily gentle handling from birth to support social bonds. They follow low-stress natural horsemanship principles tailored to draft breeds, encouraging mutual trust during training.

Stallions and mares are scored annually for joint health and soundness before breeding decisions. Recent buyers note the calm disposition and versatile performance of Shelton draft horses at local farm shows, community parades, and leisure events.
