Poor Forty's

Poor Forty’s, Percherons, Grovespring, MO, south central Missouri near Springfield. They have been breeding draft horses for several years and maintain registrations with national equine associations, complementing routine veterinary health evaluations and genetic screening for soundness. Their horses live on open fields with daily turnout and gentle handling from foaling onward to support steady temperament development.

The farm spans several acres of rolling pasture that encourages natural movement and strong bone growth. The operation is family run and grounded in traditional husbandry practices, with barn stalls that open onto paddocks so each animal can socialize as naturally as possible. One long-time client noted the gentle calmness and adaptability of their Percherons. Seasonal open farm days offer a chance to see foals at play and observe the careful selection of pedigrees focused on strength and disposition. Visitors appreciate the unhurried farm pace and steady focus on each horse’s wellbeing.
