Kerry Bauerle

Kerry Bauerle and Jackie Bauerle are Percheron breeders in Harvey, ND, in central North Dakota near Bismarck. They have been raising Percheron horses for over a decade and maintain registrations through national equine associations.

Their program includes annual inspections by the American Percheron Association and routine fertility and metabolic health screenings for broodmares. They raise their horses on a pasture-based farm where daily handling and gentle training promote trust and adaptability. During foaling season, mares are monitored closely and foals receive early imprinting sessions to foster positive human interaction.

Their approach emphasizes balanced nutrition and ample turnout, allowing young stock to socialize and mature at a natural pace. Reviewers comment on the horses’ calm temperaments and solid conformation, hallmarks that reflect the breeders’ thoughtful selection and care. This family-operated farm upholds traditions of draft horse breeding while adapting key practices to modern welfare guidelines.
