Cedar Knoll Farm prides itself in being the home of many very beautiful and personable Percheron and Percheron-cross draft horses. Our horses are accustomed to city traffic, street noises, and large public gatherings, and are safe and trustworthy in all kinds of situations.

 

Gillette

Our most popular horse for weddings, Gillette spent many years as a carriage horse at Mystic Seaport Maritime Museum in Mystic, CT. He is beautiful, elegant and very photogenic, and a wonderful contrast against our black vis-a-vis or wagonette. His story has been featured in books and many national magazines! Gillette works both single or paired with another horse.

 

Duke & Diesel

Generally used as a pair, Duke and Diesel were Amish bred. They are currently moving into a very light dapple grey / nearly white in color. They are half brothers of the exact same age, and are perfectly matched in both conformation and stride. This is an elegant, snappy pair, but rock solid - they feel just as much at home on noisy city streets as they do pulling a plow through the furrows.

Lincoln

Lincoln was also Amish bred and trained. He is currently a medium dapple grey in color, and may be used single, or in a team. He is a quiet, personable horse, and looks gorgeous on our vis-a-vis carriages. Lincoln is also our "show" horse.
