Pride Karges

Pride Karges and Jacquel Karges are Percheron breeders in Hazen, ND, in rural Mercer County in western North Dakota near Bismarck. They have over a decade of experience breeding draft horses and maintain affiliations with the Percheron Horse Association of America, ensuring each foal meets registry standards and health protocols.

They schedule routine veterinary checks and farrier visits to support sound feet and overall health. Their farm focuses on a pasture-based program with daily turnout and hands-on training, so the young horses receive consistent socialization and exercise. Stallions, mares and foals live in family pastures, where they share open space and structured feeding plans.

With a background in farmstead operations dating back to 1952, the Karges family blends tradition with attentive care. Several of their Percheron colts have placed at regional fairs, reflecting a steady commitment to quality conformation and gentle temperaments. Prospective owners often note the breeders’ transparency and willingness to share lineage records.
