Discover our available Percherons

Standing between 1.60m and 1.85m, the Percheron is known for its easygoing and docile temperament, making it suitable for a variety of purposes: driving, recreational riding, agricultural work, and public service. However, it is essential to properly train this animal, as its size could easily allow it to dominate a human if not managed appropriately.

One of the breed’s most distinctive features is its unique coat, which changes significantly over time. Percheron foals are all born black, and only a few gray hairs above the eyes enable experienced breeders to predict the future coat color of the young horse. Most Percherons will eventually turn gray, but the range of variations is vast, from dark iron gray to dappled (with rounded spots), speckled, or full light gray. For gray Percherons, the lightening of the coat is inevitable, and many end up appearing white, though this term is technically a misnomer.

In fact, the term “white” when describing a horse’s coat is often incorrect. Only horses with a truly white coat—completely unmarked, with pink skin, white hooves, and clear or dark eyes—can be classified as “white.” This coat is exceedingly rare in Percherons, as it is in other horse breeds.
