Gustave W. Bohlmann

Gustave W. Bohlmann, Percheron horse breeder in Hayden, AL, in Blount County and northern Alabama near Birmingham. He has more than a decade of experience overseeing breeding selections that emphasize conformation and temperament, and he adheres to recommended health screenings for draft horses.

Horses are raised on open pasture with daily handling to foster calm dispositions and sound musculoskeletal development while feed is selected to support growth and conditioning without excess. Stall and turnout schedules reflect routines used on traditional draft horse farms, with constant access to clean water throughout the day. Bohlmann’s farm places several young Percherons in therapeutic riding programs and local draft exhibitions.

Through careful selection and regular veterinary evaluations, he aims to maintain consistent quality and health in every foal. A small herd size allows individual attention from foaling through training. Facilities include insulated barns and shaded paddocks that mirror seasonal rhythms.
