Kyle Salveson

Kyle Salveson, Percheron horses, Malta, MT, Phillips County and the Hi-Line near Havre. He has bred Percheron horses for over a decade, participates in regional breed activities and educational clinics, and follows bloodlines recognized by the Percheron Horse Association to support sound conformation. His horses live in pasture-based settings with sturdy run-in shelters, and they receive daily hands-on socialization starting in foalhood to promote trust and adaptability. He works closely with a local equine veterinarian to ensure regular health screenings and maintains detailed records of vaccinations and hoof care.

The farm’s paddocks are rotated seasonally to match forage availability, encourage natural grazing patterns and minimize stress on each animal. His broodmares and stallions undergo gentle groundwork training on leading, manners and light-driving before being introduced to breeding routines. Visitors often note the horses’ calm temperaments and sturdy builds during farm tours and local shows. His approach reflects a respect for traditional draft horse heritage combined with attention to each horse’s well-being and individual character.
