Terrie Smith

Terrie Smith breeds Percheron horses in New Brighton, PA, in Beaver County and the Ohio River Valley near Pittsburgh. She follows established breed registry standards and ensures all horses undergo routine Coggins, dental exams, and comprehensive veterinary screenings.

Animals are raised on a family farm with open pastures, individual stalls featuring straw bedding, and a forage-based diet supplemented to support healthy bone and muscle development. Early handling from birth and gradual introduction to driving harnesses help horses develop a gentle disposition and reliable work ethic. Smith brings long-standing experience in draft horse breeding and consults with regional veterinarians and farriers to optimize conformation and soundness.

She runs a small, family-operated setup that values clear communication and a calm environment. Some of her horses have taken part in community draft horse demonstrations and parades. Prospective owners appreciate her openness about each animal’s ancestry, temperament, and suitability for farm or competitive driving.
