Beth Covert - 2010-10-08 In March 2010 we rescued a beautiful 18 month Percheron filly from possibly going to slaughter. With proper nutrition she has grown up and filled out. A breeder has looked at her and said she appears to be well bred and very nicely put together. All that and she is an absolute sweetheart! She will be heading to a training facility in January 2011 to start her driving training.

eva - 2012-02-19 A SWEETHARt - sweet! I am all for animal rights, killing any-thing is cruel especially a little baby like your filly. I'm soooo glad you saved her!
Anita Arnold - 2011-10-25 We have a 6 month old Percheron mix filly. We want to train her to pull a cart. Her sire is part of a team that pulls a carriage at parades and rodeos.

Charlie Roche - 2011-10-26 That would be loads of fun - can I come?
ilovhorses - 2013-01-15 I have just added a Arabian x Percheron, 19 yr, old, gelding. I have to say that he is the most handsome horse I have seen and most websites don't say that they are good at dressage, but my horse is. It may be the arabian side of him.

Charlie Roche - 2012-06-30 He is old enough now. Many start just a little younger (like 2 1/2 years) but 3 is old enough. He is somewhat ground trained? Saddle? Harness, stall etc? If not you would definitely start with that first.
Mary Lynn - 2010-11-29 Hello, I just added a 2 1/2 yr old filly to our family. She is beautiful, noble, gentle and has a great temperament. I just love her!
Debbie M. - 2010-06-26 I have just bought a Percheron gelding and every time I look at him, his noble manner and bearing takes my breath away. He is the first Draft Horse I have ever owned and I can only hope to do right by him.

Tom Lincoln - 2010-07-24 Stephanie and I have just done the same. His name is Odin.
Amanda - 2010-08-05 I am just in the waiting for my little guy to be ready to leave mommy and come home. I am excited but nervous, and feel the same way hopfully I do right by him. Plan to show him and wow what an awesome trail rider he will be.
JoJo - 2010-08-18 Debbie, I am taking delivery on a Percheron gelding also. My first draft, finally a horse I feel small with. He is a liver chestnut, though, and everyone keeps telling me he has to be a cross as they don't come in that color. But with no papers, I can't prove pureblood.
Imported into the United States in the late 1880's, the Percheron became America's favorite horse!

My Percheron mare has been with me since she was 5 years old. She will be 19 come feb. She is a doll.
That is a big horse. Beautiful.

I have just acquired my first 16 year old Percheron and will be gettting him on Sat. He's 100% love at first sight!
Congratulations and enjoy.
