Will Barnes Iii

Will Barnes Iii, Percheron horses, Marianna, FL, in the Florida Panhandle near Pensacola, maintains a tradition of draft-horse breeding. He has dedicated over fifteen years to percheron breeding, holds membership with the Percheron Horse Association of America, and follows national guidelines for health testing, ensuring each foal meets strict genetic and soundness standards. His horses grow up in spacious pastures with shelter options and receive daily handling to promote strong muscles and gentle behavior.

Regular veterinary checkups, farrier visits, and balanced nutrition plans are part of each young horse’s early development. The farm’s mix of barns, turnout paddocks, and shaded run-in sheds supports both shelter and freedom of movement. Local trainers often note the horses’ calm disposition, solid bone structure, and readiness to learn farm tasks or harness work. Barnes Iii shares expertise on draft-horse nutrition, training methods, and long-term soundness with prospective owners. With a focus on balanced movement and genetic health, these Percherons perform steadily in farm work, driving events, or as reliable family mounts.
