Kate Shavalier

Kate Shavalier is a Percheron breeder in Hesperia, MI in West Michigan near Grand Rapids. She has developed her program over more than a decade with registrations through national Percheron associations, routine health testing, and detailed pedigree documentation to support strong bloodlines and soundness.

Her horses live on rolling pastures with daily turnout and receive customized groundwork for early socialization and confidence building. She maintains a quiet training approach that highlights the breed’s natural strength and gentle disposition. On her family’s farm adjacent to century-old barns, each foal benefits from hands-on care and gradual familiarization with farm life.

Her involvement in local agricultural shows offers horses the chance to experience varied environments and audiences. Prospective owners commend her transparent communication and the consistent health of her stock, rooted in thoughtful breeding choices. A small treatment barn onsite ensures foals and adults receive regular veterinary examinations and preventive care.
