Mark Rice

Mark Rice is a Percheron breeder in Greenville, TX, in Hunt County and the Northeast Texas region near Dallas. He has been involved in selective Percheron breeding for over a decade, maintains membership in the Percheron Horse Association of America, and works closely with a local veterinarian to conduct recommended health screenings and genetic testing.

His horses live in pasture-based herds with daily handling and varied farm tasks to build calm temperaments and reliable work ethics. The family-run farm practices rotational grazing, soil health management and provides shaded barns with ample turnout to support sound growth and durable hoof development. Owners often mention the gentle nature of Rice’s foals when used for light draft work around ranches.

Rice’s approach reflects a respect for the breed’s history and a commitment to responsible stewardship that extends across each horse’s lifetime. Foals are socialized from birth through supervised family visits on weekends.
