Paul Booth

Paul Booth, Percheron horses, Los Gatos, CA, Santa Clara County and Silicon Valley near San Jose. His breeding program has developed over several decades under guidelines from the American Percheron Horse Association, with each mare and stallion undergoing comprehensive health testing and lineage verification.

Horses are raised in open paddocks, where daily turnout encourages natural behavior and gentle handling familiarizes foals with routine care. Stalls are cleaned twice daily and enriched with toys and brushes to support mental engagement.

The farm also offers groundwork training that emphasizes patience and clear communication, preparing young Percherons for light driving and farm work. Visitors often comment on the horses’ calm temperament and steady nature in novel settings. A small herd size ensures each foal receives individual attention from foaling through weaning, allowing Booth to monitor growth milestones closely. His personal experience as an equine handler and interest in draft breeds inform a patient approach that values temperament as much as physical soundness.
