Paradise Percherons

Paradise Percherons is a Percheron horse breeder in Montrose, Colorado, serving Montrose County and Uncompahgre Valley near Grand Junction. With over a decade of experience, it holds membership in the American Percheron Horse Association and maintains routine veterinary checks, including annual health screenings for soundness, respiratory health and conformation.

The horses live on expansive grass pastures supplemented with mineral-rich forage, benefit from daily turnout and receive early calm-handling and socialization to foster patient, confident temperaments. Owner Larry Bovard draws on three generations of family farming traditions to plan each pairing, emphasizing balanced strength and a gentle disposition suited for riding, driving and draft work.

Paradise Percherons has presented breeding stock at local draft horse exhibitions and state fairs, reflecting the farm’s steady focus on preserving Percheron hardiness, versatility and character. Foals are raised alongside adult horses in a low-stress environment, with careful attention to nutrition and hoof care from birth.
