Damon Widner

Damon Widner is a breeder of Percheron horses in Viola, WI, Vernon County and the Driftless Area near La Crosse. He has been breeding Percheron horses for more than a decade, holds membership in the American Percheron Horse Association, and follows recommended health screening for joint health, respiratory fitness, and temperament. His broodmares and foals enjoy spacious pastures year-round with access to shelter, and colts receive daily handling for early socialization and training. Barn routines include regular farrier visits, veterinary checkups, and a forage-based diet enriched with minerals to support steady growth.

The farm’s roots in family agriculture go back generations, and this heritage shapes a patient training style that helps horses excel in draft work, parades, and community shows. Clients note the horses’ calm demeanor and robust conformation, qualities that reflect careful selection and hands-on care throughout each stage of development.
