Ebony Acres

Ebony Acres breeds Percheron horses in Berthoud, Colorado in Northern Colorado near Denver. Owner Ralph Walsh has been raising Percheron horses for years, maintaining registrations with major breed associations and following recommended health screenings for each animal.

Foals are born in pasture-based herds and receive daily handling, which helps them develop calm temperaments and confidence from the earliest weeks. Stalls and paddocks are cleaned regularly, and turnout time is prioritized to support natural movement and cardiovascular health. The farm’s quiet setting on rolling grasslands gives horses space to grow strong and adaptable under consistent care.

Riders and small-scale farmers appreciate the sound structure and steady work ethic these Percherons display in draft, driving, or pleasure ring work. Ralph’s steady attention to lineage records and conformation evaluations helps maintain a balanced breeding program that values longevity and temperament. Visitors often remark on the farm’s welcoming atmosphere and personal approach to matching each horse with the right partner.
