David Bateman

David Bateman is a Percheron breeder in Mayer, AZ, serving Yavapai County and the Sonoran Desert near Phoenix.

He follows industry-standard health testing protocols and holds affiliations with recognized equine registries to ensure genetic soundness. His Percherons are raised in pasture-based settings with daily turnout, balanced nutrition, and gentle handling to promote physical health and natural movement. Early socialization routines and regular groundwork help each foal build confidence, adaptability, and trust.

The small-scale farm setting allows for personal oversight of breeding records, stall hygiene, and temperament assessments. Routine veterinary exams, dental care, and farrier services further support sound development from foalhood through maturity. Owners report calm dispositions, strong work ethics, and an even temperament suited for driving, farm work, or leisurely rides. Clients often note the openness of his program, the detailed documentation, and the cooperative nature of his Percherons.
