Meet the Percheron's

All of our sleigh horses at Bearcat Stables are Percheron Draft horses. Originating from Le Perch France this breed is known for its strength, stability and willingness to work!

Meet the Percherons:



Frank and Jesse- brothers 8 and 9 years old


Named after 2 of America's most famous outlaws of the Wild West- Frank and Jesse James
Weighing in at approximately 2000lbs each
These 2 party animals are our staple team on the ranch, and these 2 get out to work nearly every night. Frank likes to take the lead, while gentle Jesse is all about controlling the sleigh and putting on the breaks when you are heading down hill.

Wyatt- The Sheriff of this corral!
  • Approx 10 years old
  • tipping the scales at over 2000lbs
  • Named after Wyatt Earp
Wyatt does it all when it comes to pulling sleighs for us. His gentle demeanor and drive to work, makes him the perfect fit for the private sleigh. Wyatt has been helping us with our sleigh rides since we opened. We always joke that with Wyatt you don't even need a wrangler, he knows the sleigh course so well he could do it with his eyes closed.


Warren:

Both approx. 11 years
Warren Earp, was the youngest Earp brother, and had played deputy alongside brother Wyatt
Warren is HUGE! He is the largest Percheron we have had working for us, but don't let Warren's size intimidate you, he's really a gentle giant!
