Jack Stapleton

Jack Stapleton breeds Percheron horses in Melbourne, AR, in Izard County and the Ozark Foothills near Mountain Home. He has been breeding these draft horses for several years with routine health screenings and recorded lineage through national registries.

His horses live in pasture settings where they receive daily turnout and early handling to foster trust and steady manners. Jack’s farm draws on traditions of French draft work and places emphasis on gentle training and resilience under saddle or harness.

Breeding stock are selected for sound conformation, strong hooves, and a balanced temperament suited for farm work or pleasure riding. Foals are raised alongside adult mares in a family herd and undergo early ground training to encourage ease of handling. Many owners comment on the calm disposition and solid structure that reflect careful selection and attentive care. Horses receive farrier visits every six weeks and dental exams twice a year to support long-term soundness.
