Matthew Tippets

Matthew Tippets breeds Percheron horses in Manila, UT, Daggett County and the Uintah Basin near Vernal. He has worked with Percheron bloodlines for more than a decade and maintains active membership in regional breeding associations. His farm gives each horse ample turnout alongside stall access, and daily handling from foaling supports socialization.

Tippets selects for sturdy conformation and a steady disposition suited to driving, farm work and trail riding. His mares and stallions are tested for soundness and joint health, and foals receive early training on the lead. Visitors often note his patient approach and the quiet rhythm of daily chores around the barn. Prospective buyers appreciate the oversight of each animal’s dietary program and the open layout that allows young horses to interact freely before pairing. Each colt and filly is raised on pasture during spring and summer, ensuring strong musculoskeletal development.
