Vintage

Vintage Percheron horses in Henrico, VA, are devoted to preserving draft horse heritage in central Virginia near Richmond. Its owner, Douglas K. Wurz, has been breeding Percheron horses for over a decade with membership in the Percheron Horse Association and ties to local equine groups.

Animals are raised on a century-old farm with pasture-based paddocks, balanced nutrition, and daily turnout overseen by a large-animal veterinarian. Each foal undergoes early socialization through calm handling, exposure to farm visitors of all ages, and routine health testing for soundness and vitality. Gentle harness training begins before weaning, encouraging trust and adaptability in each horse.

The farm’s history includes a tradition of field demonstrations and community events that highlight the Percheron’s strength and versatility. Positive feedback from local riding clubs notes the horses’ steady demeanor and well-mannered behavior, reflecting the breeder’s careful attention to temperament and sound welfare.
