Martha's Story - the Perfect Percheron cross, big with a beautiful head and thick neck!

Martha Adams (my friend and co-worker at Dogwood Farm in Jacksonville) had been asking me to keep an eye out for a horse and I've been looking for about two years. I know the type she likes - big with a beautiful head and thick neck! Percheron cross was what I was looking for.

I found one, a black bay mare that was at a farm near where we live. We learned about her through my sister's friend. I sent Martha pictures and she was very interested, Molly was just her type. Martha didn't make a decision and about a month later, the mare had a foal! No one knew she was pregnant! Read more>

If you arrive at this site looking for North Florida Horse Rescue, they have merged with Habitat for Horses as their SE region division. Contact Margaret for assistance.

Bug Check - 2 Months Supply - Promotes and maintains healthy skin and coat from the inside out. Maintenance amount is 1/2 scoop daily for a 1,000 lb horse. It's amazing how well it works to keep flies away from my horses and dogs. (My dogs rarely have fleas & I only use 'other' flea protection a couple times a year.)
