Nattie K. Book

Nattie K. Book is a Percheron breeder in Durham, CA, in Butte County and the Sacramento Valley near Sacramento. With more than a decade of experience, Book follows established health-testing protocols and registry guidelines through recognized and accredited draft-horse associations. The farm includes open grassland pastures fed on local coastal hay and a climate-controlled stall barn, where foals and mature horses receive daily turnout and handling to encourage calm, adaptable temperaments.

Several horses have appeared in annual local draft-hitch demonstrations and agricultural heritage events, reflecting a focus on versatility beyond traditional farm work. Book emphasizes gentle groundwork, positive reinforcement strategies and harness introduction, preparing animals for light driving or therapeutic visits. Prospective owners often remark on the horses’ steady strength, patient demeanor and responsive training foundation. Each Percheron is raised with attention to balanced nutrition, daily grooming, hoof care and social herd dynamics.
