I hitched Pearl to the wagon today after taking the edge off her on the stoneboat and she was flawless! Never could have guessed she hadn't pulled a wagon in 2 years. My cousin Linda calls her the Miss America of draft horses and she sure looks it here! She came to me from Mr. Richard Carey of R C Farrier Service in Cookeville, Tn and he certainly did a good job with her!! Next harness for her will be a Fancy Buggy Harness to pull the cart when she takes me on the Hebbertsburg Cemetary Tour to visit my old ancesters . Percheron power Rocks!

Hi!
Happened on your site. Great photo of a terrific looking horse. Love those draft horses!
Hope you post details of your outings with this boy.
Please ask Pearl to forgive me for calling her a "boy". She is a beautiful girl.
Simply marvelous, yes she is! My family calls her the "Miss America of Draft Horses"! She had not been hitched in 2 years when I got her a few months ago and when we put her to the wagon last week she acted like she had never had a break from it! We are looking for a smaller wagon as our terrain is too hilly and the red hitch wagon is too much wagon for one horse unless it was on flat ground. You will be seeing more of her as she is my only model to showcase the harnesses I make in my harness shop. She is the star of Hebbertsburg Harness Shop for sure! Am starting to work on her fancy buggy harness for her to showcase for me when we put her to a 2 wheeled cart. She has such a regal presence that the camera loves. She is 11 years old and I hope she has the longevity of my other Percheron who bless her heart has to be 30 or so and had been roughly used when I got her 10 years ago. She is now retired and keeps Pearl company in the pasture. When you look at them standing together they look like grandmother and granddaughter.
