Craig Deboer

Craig Deboer, Percheron breeder in Manhattan, MT, in the Gallatin Valley near Bozeman, focuses on sound conformation and calm temperament. With more than a decade of experience, memberships in national draft horse associations, and routine veterinary screenings, he follows comprehensive health testing protocols.

Foals and broodmares share turnout on rolling hills, and a well-ventilated barn offers shelter throughout the seasons. Daily handling helps youngsters adapt to halters, hoof trimming and groundwork before they join light draft or carriage training. Percherons’ gentle and quiet disposition combined with strong muscle structure suit them for both farm work and recreational trail riding.

Pedigrees trace back to foundation bloodlines long valued for longevity and versatility. His program has produced horses that earned regional show ribbons and perform reliably under saddle or in harness. Reviews comment on the horses’ steady nature and the farm’s attentive, hands-on care.
