Eugene Mattern

Eugene Mattern, Percheron breeder in Magnolia, TX, and serving Montgomery County and the Gulf Coast near Houston. He is a registered member of the American Percheron Society and adheres to annual soundness exams, veterinary oversight, and genetic screening protocols for breeding stock.

Drawing on extensive experience with draft breeds, he maintains open-sided barns with padded stalls, shaded run-in sheds, and easy-access water troughs for every season. His horses are pasture raised with daily turnout in spacious fields where early handling fosters gentle temperaments. Pastures are rotated to preserve forage quality and reduce parasite loads. Colts receive gentle groundwork sessions before returning to group pastures, encouraging confident movement and social skills.

Several of his Percherons have been featured in regional driving events and farm demonstrations, noted for steady gaits and calm presence. Owners often remark on the approachable temperament and readiness for light farm work from the youngest to mature stock.
