About The Breed
The Percheron is a French draft horse renowned for its strength, intelligence, and versatility. Originating in the Perche region of northwestern France, the breed was historically used for both farm work and pulling carriages. Percherons are typically gray or black, with a powerful, muscular build and an elegant, athletic presence. Known for their calm temperament, willingness, and endurance, they excel in driving, riding, and farm work. Today, Percherons are celebrated worldwide as working horses, show horses, and ambassadors of draft horse heritage.
