Our Horses

The breed of horse that we use is the Percheron. Percherons are either black or gray in color and are known for their sensitive personalities, their eagerness to work and their beauty, especially their refined faces. The breed originated in France during the Medieval Age. Their size was needed to carry the nights in armour into battle.

Our horses usually work in teams of two. Usually the horses that make up a team are the same size and color and they may be together their whole lives.
