Linda Frankfurth

Linda Frankfurth and Les Walther, Percheron horses, Bismarck, ND, in the Missouri River valley near Mandan, are dedicated breeders. They have been raising percherons for over 25 years and hold memberships in the Percheron Horse Association of America. All breeding stock undergoes regular veterinary health screenings, including evaluations for equine metabolic syndrome and soundness to ensure strong lines.

Their horses are raised on pasture with daily turnout and gentle handling to build a calm temperament. Foals thrive in a family setting with early socialization alongside farm dogs and regular visits from local 4-H clubs. Their focus on steady temperament and sturdy conformation has earned praise from neighboring equestrians and stable owners. They also offer guidance on training basics and equipment selection to help new owners settle in. Visitors often note the peaceful surroundings and well-cared-for grounds that reflect their commitment to sustainable practices.
