Marty Orr

Marty Orr, Percheron breeder in Manning, IA in Carroll County and west-central Iowa near Omaha, raises robust draft horses. Orr has been breeding Percheron horses for years, holds membership in the Percheron Horse Association, and follows routine veterinary screenings and Coggins testing. The horses are raised on open pasture with rotational grazing, receive daily handling from foal stage, and adapt smoothly to light draft tasks. Foals often develop solid conformation for local draft shows, reflecting the farm’s focus on balanced conformation and steady temperament.

The family-run operation emphasizes routine farrier care and shelter in a well-ventilated barn throughout winter months. Each broodmare is selected for health and temperament, with bloodlines tracing back to French foundation stock. The breeder maintains detailed records of growth and performance, sharing developmental milestones with owners through every stage. Nutrition plans include high-quality forage supplemented by minerals and vitamin mixes tailored to draft horse needs.
