Percheron Horses with Miss Laura

#Horses #PercheronHorses #LeonisAdobe
Watch as Leonis Adobe Museum Guide Miss Laura introduces you to our Percheron horses, Merlin and Goliath, fondly referred to as the "Tractors" of the Rancho. Back in the 1880s in the United States, Percheron horses outnumbered all other horse breeds combined. One of the most versatile breeds, Percherons demonstrated their astonishing "horsepower" by pulling large farm equipment and carrying heavy goods over long distances. Prized for their keen intelligence, powerful musculature, and gentle dispositions, this unique breed of draft horse played an essential role in the Old West. Then, join Miss Laura as she visits Underwood Family Farms and learns how Percheron horses are hitched together and driven as a team.

my grandpa owned draft horses, his favorite was a team of grey percherons I remember so fondly! I had the privilege to ride a black percheron a couple years ago and it was the time of my life ❤

My grandfather had Percherons and they were very loved by the whole family. Thanks for sharing the history of this beautiful breed.
