Boots Mitchell Stanley

Boots Mitchell Stanley breeds Percheron horses in Hamburg, AR, in Southeast Arkansas near Pine Bluff. Stanley’s farm draws on decades of regional draft horse tradition, maintains ties with national associations, and ensures routine veterinary protocols from joint and respiratory screening to dental evaluations. The farm is a member of the Percheron Horse Association. All pasture-based foals receive daily handling from weaning onward and are introduced to groundwork in open fields before light training.

Stanley prioritizes temperament as much as conformation when selecting breeding pairs. Sheltered loafing areas and summer pasture rotations support muscle tone, coat condition, comfort and movement year-round. Stanley values clear communication with prospective owners, sharing growth updates and veterinary records through personalized farm visits. Some young Percherons have placed in regional plow days and draft shows, reflecting careful bloodline selection and steady development.
