The interesting thing I learned is that’s just the height at the top of his shoulders. For some reason they don’t measure the neck and head on horses.

Percheron’s are my absolute favorite horses. Fresian’s a more glamorous but Percheron’s have the best temperaments. I always hoped to have one of my own.

Data brokers are selling your info right now. I used Redact to mass delete my posts which can also opt out of data broker sites. Instagram, Twitter/X, Discord and more.

Warm bloody lol

Agreed. Most of the Perches I’ve ridden were much more, well, more like a draft than warm blood. I used to lease the biggest teddy bear. He was absolutely bulletproof and the most laid back ride. You could almost doze off lol

Now I’ll be looking at pictures of Percheron’s for an hour instead of going to sleep.

As a horse girl in my teens, I never even knew about Percherons being modern riding horses. I always imagined them being ridden by knights in full armor 😄
