Clayton Yutzy

Clayton Yutzy is a Percheron breeder in Monte Vista, Colorado, in Rio Grande County and the San Luis Valley near Alamosa. He has been raising Percheron horses for several years according to nationwide Percheron association guidelines, with breeding stock evaluated on temperament and conformation.

Each horse enjoys daily turnout on irrigated pasture, balanced nutrition drawn from local hay and seasonal grains, and regular hands-on handling to nurture a calm and willing nature. Foals begin groundwork shortly after birth, including leading practice and routine hoof trimming to support healthy growth. Vaccinations, dental exams and farrier visits are scheduled year-round as part of a preventive health plan.

His approach reflects the region’s ranching heritage, combining time-honored husbandry with attentive care. Visitors often remark on the horses’ steady manners and the farm’s straightforward, community-minded atmosphere. Occasional farm presentations offer a glimpse into traditional draft horse care and breeding methods.
