Pete Nolt

Pete Nolt is a Percheron breeder in Versailles, MO, in Morgan County and the Ozarks near Jefferson City. With over a decade of experience, he adheres to American Percheron Horse Association guidelines and completes routine health evaluations for every foal.

His draft horses are raised on pasture with daily handling to encourage calm temperaments and strong social bonds. The farm operates from a century-old homestead, blending traditional breeding practices with gentle groundwork. Neighbors often note the horses’ steady dispositions, and several young stallions have earned ribbons at local fair events. Every animal benefits from a structured turnout schedule and balanced nutrition, reflecting a commitment to long-term well-being. He selects broodmares for sound conformation and gentle temperaments and oversees calving in sheltered barns with 24-hour observation, introducing foals to grooming and light harness work before weaning.
