Our Percheron Horses are a bunch of hopeless romantics, gentle and good natured and will bring a smile to anyone who meets them. Hundreds of children and parents have met the horses through Walking M Farms, at birthdays, and other special occasions where these gentle giants have made a special day even more memorable for all. 

 

The Percheron is a breed of draft horse that originated in the Perche valley in northern France. They are specially bred for strength, size, and ability and desire to pull. These gentle giants can pull hundreds of pounds with little effort. By comparison, our carriages with 3 passengers weighs about 2,000 pounds and a typical wagon with 12 children and adults weighs around 3000 pounds. 

 

The health and safety of our horses is one of our greatest concerns as are the conditions where they live and work. Our horses are kept at Walking M Farms. They have regular health examinations from their local vet. We never work a sick or injured horse. Of course it's not all about work! We have loads of fun with them as well! They have a big pasture for playing in and many nights of grooming and treats! Our horses are a big part of our family and they are kept in good HEALTH by maintaining their feet, vaccinations, worming and providing good quality feed. Horses can be very loyal and trustworthy friends, but YOU must be a good friend to THEM as well!
