Dave Kaste

Dave Kaste, Percheron horse breeder in Battle Lake, MN, serves Otter Tail County and the Fargo area. He has bred Percherons for over fifteen years and follows national registry guidelines with routine health evaluations and clear records. His horses live on pasture paddocks at his lakeside farm, where daily turnouts and early handling help build calm temperaments.

Kaste’s breeding program focuses on durability and steady gaits for draft work and recreational riding. The farm’s open barn design and herd structure support natural social bonds, and visitors note the horses’ gentle nature. Many have appreciated his thoughtful approach to matching each horse’s strengths with new owners. He often attends state fairs and local draft horse shows to exchange knowledge with fellow breeders and showcase prospects. Owners remark on his clear communication and willingness to advise on training and care throughout each horse’s lifetime.
