Michael D. Thompson

Michael D. Thompson and Rylan R. Huff are Percheron horse breeders in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, in Middle Tennessee near Nashville. They follow guidelines set by the American Percheron Association and prioritize annual health screenings to ensure soundness and longevity in their horses.

Both Michael and Rylan bring lifelong experience working with draft horses, managing every stage from breeding mare care to training yearlings. Their breeding program emphasizes early socialization, with foals raised in open pastures and introduced to basic groundwork by six months. Horses share a mix of stall and turnout time to support both physical development and mental well-being.

Clients appreciate the team’s transparent communication and the consistent temperament seen in both weanlings and mature stock. The farm’s quiet setting reflects a commitment to gentle handling and thoughtful pairing of bloodlines for balanced size and strength. Annual farrier visits and dental checks are arranged on schedule to maintain hoof health and proper bite alignment.
