Evergreen Ridge

Evergreen Ridge, a Percheron breeder in Hampton, MN, in southeastern Minnesota near Rochester, offers well-bred draft horses suited for farm work and family shows. The Endres family has been breeding Percheron horses for many years and maintains memberships with national equine registries while following recommended health screening protocols. Foals grow up in a pasture-based setting, receiving daily handling that encourages calm temperaments and prepares them for both traditional draft roles and pleasure driving.

The farm’s location on a family-owned property contributes to a focus on heritage breeding and sustainable land stewardship. Each horse benefits from turnout in groups that support natural social behaviors, with access to covered stalls during inclement weather. Prospective owners often note the horses’ even temperament and sturdy conformation, reflecting the farm’s commitment to thoughtful selection and ongoing care.

Training focuses on groundwork and gentle gaiting exercises, encouraging horses to develop strength and responsiveness at a steady pace. Some young stock have placed at regional draft horse shows, highlighting consistent conformation and tractable dispositions.
