Wilma Motes

Wilma Motes, Percheron horse breeder in Eagleville, TN, is based in Rutherford County and the Middle Tennessee region near Nashville. Motes focuses on foals with solid conformation and calm temperaments, following widely recommended health guidelines that include regular veterinary examinations and a balanced, forage-rich diet and routine hoof care. Horses live in open pasture settings with access to a spacious, well-ventilated run-in shed, shade trees, and daily turnout.

Socialization starts at birth with gentle handling and short groundwork sessions to prepare young stock for future training. The farm’s historic barn and broad fields provide room for natural movement and the development of strong bones and musculature. Family involvement in daily chores ensures regular human interaction and consistent routines. Motes stays connected with nearby equestrian groups and shares best practices with other breeders. Several individuals have shown aptitude for both draft work and pleasure riding.
