About Us:
Our family farm is located in the North Georgia Mountains. Our passion is the SPOTTED DRAFT breed.
The North American Spotted Draft Horse
breed is one of the newest and most eye-catching breed of draft horses. It is also confusing to some who think and call it just a big paint horse, it is not. Yes, the "color" was taken from a paint horse and bred it back into the Percheron (or other draft horse) and started with a half-draft or cross, then kept breeding back until they got back to their full-size, which is the Premium Spotted draft horse. That is why when you hear the word "HOMOZYGOUS", pronounced (Hoh-mo-zy-guhs ), then you know you have found a horse with something special!! Several of our horses are Homozygous for the "Tobiano" gene which means they're guaranteed to throw a spotted foal every time, including our stallion Lance. We DNA test all our horses for color, pattern, and disease markers. We feel it makes for a better breeding program.
It is awesome to be accompanied by these majestic giants yet they are more gentle than any other breed we have worked with. We enjoy the Spotted Drafts so much that we bought our own Premium Stallion, PAINTED FOREST LANCE and have learned even more by breeding our own mares, imprinting and raising our own foals.
We are able to take mares and even our stallion Lance out to Parades (click on pic for Youtube Video)
and still feel safe with crowds of children and families. People are drawn to the size, the color and the sweet temperment of these beautiful animals. It is our goal to further educate and inform the public on the beauty and unlimited potential this breed of horse can offer. We take our horses to local and state Draft shows, farming venues,
community parades and events where we are always stopped by people commenting on how much they love our horses!!!
