PERCHERONS
ABOUT US
LONG STANDING PERCHERON BREEDERS
The Lucas Family purchased their first registered Percherons - Royal Daisy and Drake Farms Ann - in 1969 from Ontario. These mares sparked a desire to enter the Show Ring! Royal Daisy was shown extensively and was prominent in the winner's circle for many years.
Bill and Opal Lucas toured England and France in 1975 and returned home with the grey Percheron stallion Farman. He was the first French Stallion to be imported from France to Canada since 1930.
EXCELLENCE AND PROFESSIONALISM
One of the first Lucasia-raised Percherons to be shown widely and successfully was Lucasia Big John. In 1976, he won three Grand Championships and two Supreme Percheron trophies in Alberta. That fall he went on to be named Grand Champion Stallion at the Toronto Royal Winter Fair. Big John's sire, the renowned Justimere Showtime also sired a half brother out of the mare Drake Farms Ann. Lucasia Sir William was perennially at the top of his class for the few short years he lived.
CARRYING ON THE LEGACY
The progeny of these horses has allowed Lucasia Ranch to continue breeding and showing quality Percherons. The third generation of Lucases is now carrying on the Percheron legacy - still at Lucasia Ranch in the Porcupine Hills of southwestern Alberta.
The small herd of Lucasia Percherons is slowly growing and more and more frequently Lucasia horses are finding their way to the show ring!
