Mark E. Andreasen, Percheron horses, Gerald, MO, Franklin County and the Ozark Highlands near St. Louis. He has been breeding registered Percheron horses for more than a decade, holds membership in the American Percheron Horse Association, and adheres to a health screening protocol including genetic testing, regular vaccinations, and farrier care.

Horses are raised on open pasture with daily handling by a small team, ensuring steady temperaments and ease of groundwork training, and they follow nutritional plans balanced for draft horse needs. The family-run farm spans rolling fields shaded by mature oaks and operates on traditions passed down through three generations, creating a relaxed environment that promotes sound conformation and strong movement. Recent owners have noted the foals’ gentle manner during early groundwork and balanced responses under saddle.

Breeding priorities include versatile traits suited to light farm work or carriage driving, reflecting the region’s horsepower heritage.
