Kay L. Bast-Rhode

Kay L. Bast-Rhode breeds Percheron horses in Hartford, WI, serving Washington County and southeastern Wisconsin near Milwaukee. Her program follows American Percheron registry guidelines with routine health testing and a focus on temperament and soundness. Each foal is raised on spacious pastures, introduced early to handling and light farm work, and benefits from daily turnout and social interaction with other horses.

Several mares and stallions live in winter paddocks with straw bedding and have barn access during storms to ensure year-round comfort. Horses receive regular farrier visits and dental care, and feeding plans emphasize balanced nutrition for breeding and draft performance. The emphasis is on developing versatile workhorses suitable for driving, farm tasks or pleasure riding. The farm has completed multiple local draft pull events, where its horses earn praise for steady temperaments and reliable draft work. Visitors often mention quiet lanes and open paddocks, where animals thrive on a pasture-based routine.
