Devan Donato

Devan Donato breeds Percheron horses in Smithville, MO, Clay County and the Kansas City area. Devan Donato has been caring for Percheron stock for over 15 years, maintains membership in the Percheron Horse Association and follows a comprehensive health protocol including precise vaccination schedules and annual veterinary inspections.

His herd grazes on rotational pasture with daily turnout, regular farrier visits and early handling to build confidence around farm equipment. Foals grow up alongside mature horses, encouraging strong bone development and even temperaments through gentle social structure.

Bloodlines are selected for solid conformation and sound movement, and colts receive basic groundwork before yearlings join local training programs. One client remarked on Devan’s openness about feeding routines and the calm, well-mannered attitude of both stallions and mares. All horses are vaccinated and dewormed under a herd health schedule designed by a nearby equine practitioner.
