Willow Bend

Willow Bend breeds Percheron horses in Madisonville, TN, serving East Tennessee and the Smoky Mountains near Knoxville. Joseph Dailey and Emily Dailey have been raising draft horses for more than fifteen years and are members of the Percheron Horse Association of America. All breeding stock undergoes regular health screening for common equine conditions.

Foals are raised with daily turnout on pasture and early handling to support calm temperaments and strong muscle development. The Daileys emphasize natural horsemanship techniques and low-stress handling in a family farm setting. Visitors often note the gentle nature of their horses and the quiet charm of the century-old barn where training begins. Their program includes balanced nutrition tailored to performance goals and regular hoof care by a local farrier. The horses have been showcased at regional fairs and agricultural events with consistent top ribbons in driving and halter classes.
