Brad Prochnow

Brad Prochnow breeds Percheron horses in Menomonie, WI, in Dunn County near Minneapolis. He has worked with draft horses for over a decade and maintains registration with the Percheron Horse Association.

His horses live in pasture-based paddocks with daily turnout and gentle handling to foster their calm strength. Each foal stays close to its dam until weaning to support early social development and health. His farm sits among gently rolling pastures that let horses move freely while under close supervision.

He introduces harness training gradually, using patient, reward-based methods and minimal pressure to build trust and confidence. Routine veterinary wellness checks and a balanced feeding program help maintain proper bone and muscle growth. A number of his horses have appeared at small local agricultural fairs and draft horse demonstrations, where they’ve shown reliable work ethic and steady temperaments.
