Purple Top

Purple Top is a Percheron horse breeder in Beallsville, OH, Belmont County and the Ohio River Valley near Wheeling.

With more than fifteen years devoted exclusively to Percheron breeding, Purple Top follows guidelines set by the U.S. Percheron Horse Association and undertakes regular health screenings with a trusted equine veterinarian. Its horses are pasture-raised across rolling fields with daily turnouts, early handling by staff familiar with draft temperaments, and ongoing socialization to foster calm, responsive companions. Bloodlines are chosen for enduring sound movement, willing disposition, and conformation suited to both farm work and recreational driving, and foals receive one-on-one attention during their first months. The farm’s steady, thoughtful approach to breeding reflects a commitment to long-term well-being and genetic integrity rather than quick gains.

Horses reside in spacious paddocks with access to well-drained shelter, mineral-fortified salt blocks, and high-quality forage year-round. Each spring, visitors can observe gentle lead-line or ground-driving demos showcasing young stock under light riding or long-line guidance.
