Rambo and Rowdy are the two Percheron work horse geldings here on the farm. They help us haul fire wood, pick up rocks and spread organic matter.
They are 7 and 8 years old. The Percheron Draft Horse originated in La Perche France. It was the main draft horse in the US before the tractor.
These horses are on the Recovery list at The American Livestock Breeds Conservancy ( ALBC) and a come back for small farm and homesteaders.
Here they are enjoying their time off.

Here we are just having fun with the big boys, that's what we call them.
Here is Ron, one of our friends on Rowdy our 7 year old gelding.
This is the first time he had somebody on his back. As you can see, he
is pretty calm about that.

Here is Rambo the 8 year old with me on his back. He also
seems to handle this first time experience very well.
These horses are so good natured, they are our very first
horses and we enjoy them all the way around.

Here we are at a local Field Day. The Ozarks Draft Horse Association held the event at the High Plains Percherons Farm
located in West Plains MO. This event was open to the public. We all had a great time helping each other with the big
horses and eating great food It was a cold day but we had a good turn out with eighty plus people in attendance.
Thank You so much to Judy and Jerry Peck for hosting this special event.
