Christy Staab

Christy Staab breeds Percheron horses in Wellington, Colorado, in Larimer County near Fort Collins. With more than ten years of experience, she maintains active membership in the American Percheron Horse Association. Her program follows registry standards for conformation, genetic health screening and hoof care, with support from a local farrier and veterinarian team. Each breeding pair is chosen for compatibility of temperament and movement, with emphasis on maintaining the breed’s traditional draft strength and calm nature.

Day-to-day care includes rotational grazing on native grasses, daily handling to encourage calm temperaments and regular veterinary checkups. Mares, foals and geldings share family-run pastures with stall access during cold months. Her breeding philosophy emphasizes sound structure, balanced size and collaborative training that readies each horse for light driving or recreational riding. Many graduates of her program have earned praise for their steady performance under saddle and in harness, reflecting her focus on early socialization and conditioned groundwork.
