Vicki (Wilder) Lewis

Vicki (Wilder) Lewis, Percheron, Custer, WA in the North Cascades near Bellingham. She has worked with Percheron horses for over a decade, holds membership in the Percheron Horse Association, and oversees routine health evaluations.

Her farm practice blends turnout on rolling pasture with gentle handling from foalhood, allowing each horse to develop a calm, willing temperament. Training emphasizes patience and clear communication, preparing equines for roles in light agricultural tasks or recreational driving. Clients often note how these horses adapt easily to family farms and remain composed in busy barn environments. Each year a limited number of foals arrive with a basic deworming plan and a hoof care regimen managed by licensed equine professionals.

Horses are introduced to basic draft work and light trail riding under supervision to build confidence and strength. The farm’s setting along mountain streams and forest edge offers natural enrichment that supports strong bone development and social skills.
