These 2 boys are full brother, Percherons. They are 9 (Billy) and 11 (Buddy). They were purchased back in 2007 as sleigh ride horses and they pulled wagons and sleighs together back then. They were relatively untouched for 4 years until we picked them up in November at an estate auction. We worked with them for about one month, every day. Round pen work, ground driving, hooking them up to a forecart, and then finally hooking them up to a feed sleigh. Buddy is the better puller of the two. He works hard, and turns like a dream. He is the more skittish one though, as well, and when we first hooked them up to the feed sleigh, he was very scared of the large object behind him. He’ll need some time to get used to it before he’s hooked up to one again.  Billy is very calm but not as hard of a worker. He takes a bit longer to respond to commands and would rather his brother do most of the work. We had a deadline, unfortunately, of when we needed them to be ready, and, as we all know, those deadlines are dangerous in the horse world. We simply couldn’t have them ready by the time we needed them, so we’ve had them in our winter pasture, enjoying life with 60 other of our horses, eating grass all day since Dec 1. It’s time for them to find a new home, though, as we can’t sustain keeping them if we can’t work them.

We are asking $1000 for the pair – Our desire here is not to make any money, but to find them a good home where they can remember how to pull again. Please consider giving them a chance!
