Joe Poteat

Joe Poteat breeds Percheron horses in Roundup, MT in south-central Montana near Billings. With over 15 years of experience, he maintains membership in the Percheron Horse Association and adheres to health protocols including annual veterinarian exams, farrier visits, and genetic screening.

He offers guidance on nutrition tailored to Montana’s seasonal swings, emphasizing forage quality and pasture rotation. His horses live on native grass pastures with open-run shelters and benefit from daily handling to foster calm temperaments. They appear regularly in local draft horse demonstrations, where their steady dispositions and strength draw praise.

Inspired by a century-old family homestead, Joe plans each foaling around mare comfort and optimal foal care. Several Percherons have earned regional ribbons at state fairs, underscoring solid conformation and reliable drive. Visitors often tour the facilities and review comprehensive records of each animal’s health and performance history.
