Wilkinson Pony Farm

Wilkinson Pony Farm is a breeder of Hackney horses in Chapman, NE, serving Merrick County and the Grand Island area. Lorri E. Wilkinson has been raising these refined driving horses for over fifteen years, adhering to registry standards and carrying out routine health screening. The ponies live in pasture-based herds with access to daily turnout and gentle handling from foalhood, encouraging confident, adaptable temperaments.

Many horses from the farm have competed in local harness shows and demonstration events for driving enthusiasts. Visitors often note the peaceful barn environment and the farm’s focus on clear communication and respectful training. Each foal undergoes early handling to build trust and is evaluated by a farrier and veterinarian before placement. They follow American Hackney Horse Society guidelines and register all stock to ensure lineage standards.
