Luke was down near Visalia with a man known for turning out some great driving horses. He liked his Percherons on the sportier side, and Luke was no exception. At six years old he was tall and athletic, much more refined than most drafts you’ve seen. He definitely had a lot of pep and came from a line of show horses who were known to be “hitchy.” Now, hitchy is great when you want a flashy horse who’s going to catch the judge’s eye in the show ring, but for pleasure driving it may mean a horse who is too much of a handful for a beginner student. Luke’s passion was working, and spending time with people wasn’t real high on his priority list. Coupled with the fact that he wasn’t trained undersaddle, we once again made the decision to keep looking.
