Aaron Michael and Lauren Stanger, Percheron horses, Valley, NE in Sarpy County and the Platte River Valley near Omaha. They have been raising draft horses for several years and follow standards set by national breeding associations.

Routine farrier care and veterinary checkups support soundness and conformation in every foal. Their horses live on open pasture and receive daily handling from an early age, fostering a calm temperament. Each foal receives halter training at weaning to build confidence and obedience.

The farm’s sturdy barns stand on rolling pastures shaded by mature oaks, reflecting a farmstead rooted in local tradition. Their selective approach to matching bloodlines emphasizes structural balance, gentle demeanor, and sound working ability. Many of their Percherons find roles in driving competitions, therapeutic programs, or light farm work, and mares and foals receive individual monitoring during foaling season to ensure smooth transitions.
