Mountain Creek Ranch

Mountain Creek Ranch is a Percheron horse breeder in Aurora, Missouri, in Southwest Missouri near Springfield. Philip Melugin and Miriam Brant have been breeding Percheron horses for over a decade, maintain registration with the American Percheron Horse Association and follow regular health checks including veterinary exams and farrier visits. Their horses graze on open pastures and receive daily handling to encourage a calm temperament, while foals grow alongside mature draft stock in a family-run ranch environment.

Their Percherons are known for adaptability, thriving as working partners on small farms, in carriage driving and at weekend shows. Several ranch foals have earned ribbons at local draft horse shows, reflecting a balance of strength and steady disposition. The ranch setting blends hands-on care with Missouri’s draft horse traditions, offering a nurturing backdrop for developing sound, reliable animals. Mountain Creek Ranch remains dedicated to preserving Percheron qualities through thoughtful breeding and ongoing attention to each horse’s well-being.
