Michael Gustafson

Michael Gustafson is a Percheron breeder in Blanco, NM, in northern New Mexico near Santa Fe. He follows breed registry standards for conformation and temperament and all horses undergo routine health screenings. His program emphasizes early socialization with foals raised alongside mares on spacious pastures and introduced to gentle handling from a young age.

Horses are sheltered in open-air barns with access to grazing and daily turnout. Owners value their gentle disposition and strong work ethic, qualities that suit them to light draft tasks and trail riding. Michael’s approach blends traditional ranch practices with modern equine welfare guidelines to support sound minds and bodies. Feeding routines rely on high-quality forage supplemented with balanced minerals and prospective owners often comment on transparent communication and his willingness to share equine care knowledge. His stock regularly appears at regional fairs and local riding clubs, reflecting the community’s trust in his breeding program.
