First purchased our Suffolk horses as 8 month old fillies in December 2003. Starting as 2 year olds they were used for all types of farm work, mainly winter feeding a 700 - 800 ewe sheep flock until 2012. I have semi-retired since then and the horses are used for plowing, cutting hay, planting crops, spreading manure and anything else we need them for. We have since added a third mare and comes in handy on heavy draft work, like plowing and three abreast on a large manure spreader.
They have always been a pleasure to work with and probably the most dependable horses I have ever owned and I have had horses of various breeds my whole life.
