Brian Gruver

Brian Gruver is a Percheron breeder in Otho, IA in north central Iowa near Fort Dodge. He has been breeding Percheron horses for over a decade and maintains membership in the American Percheron Horse Association.

Every broodmare and stallion receives regular veterinary health screenings, including joint and cardiac evaluations where recommended. His foals are raised on pasture with ample turnout and regular handling to support calm temperaments and sound development. Visitors often note the quiet barn routines and wide fields that support natural herd interactions.

The farm’s focus on clear communication and gradual exposure has produced horses equally suited for light driving, riding, or farm work. Brian’s years of experience on this family-operated farm bring a hands-on approach to each stage from foaling to training. Most horses leave the farm well socialized and conditioned, ready to adapt to new environments or lifestyles.
