Howard N. Hill

Howard N. Hill breeds Percheron horse in Fairview, MT, serving Richland County and the eastern Montana plains near Sidney. He has devoted years to breeding sound percheron horses, maintains membership in a national draft horse registry, and performs regular health screenings to ensure hoof and joint soundness.

His foals spend their first months on open pasture, where they learn social skills alongside mature horses and develop resilient temperaments. Barn and shelter facilities are designed to provide comfort in all seasons, with daily turnout and hand grooming routines that support early handling. Regular visits from a local veterinarian and farrier ensure each horse receives dental care and hoof trimming on schedule. Several of their horses have placed in local draft horse shows, reflecting the strength and balance achieved through selective breeding. Howard follows practices passed down through generations of farmers in this region, emphasizing calm interaction and steady groundwork from the foal’s first days.
