Pleasant Acres

Pleasant Acres, Percheron horses, are located in Little Rock, Iowa, in northwest Iowa near Sioux Falls. Gerald G. Deboer and Doris F. Deboer bring over fifteen years of focused breeding and care, working with the American Percheron Horse Association for registry and adhering to recommended health screenings.

They maintain a mix of pasture and barn environments that supports consistent turnout and gradual training routines. The farm’s quiet country setting allows year-round pasture rotation to support sound hoof and joint health. Their emphasis on early handling and exposure to light draft tasks encourages calm, adaptable horses for a variety of farm and pleasure activities.

Several of their Percheron horses have earned ribbons at regional fairs, and visitors note their gentle temperament and solid conformation. This enduring family operation reflects a hands-on approach that highlights tradition and steady attention to each foal’s development.
