He follows recommended health testing and performance evaluations for draft horses through recognized registries and maintains careful records of each horse’s lineage. His horses are raised on spacious pastures with daily handling to support calm temperament, early social skills, and basic ground manners.

Foals and mature horses receive regular farrier care and vaccinations, and spend time with children and other livestock to build confidence. This attention to balanced development has made many of his horses reliable partners for both new and experienced handlers.
