Richard C. Putman

Richard C. Putman is a Percheron horse breeder in Caroga Lake, NY, Fulton County and the Adirondacks near Saratoga Springs. With over fifteen years breeding Percheron horses, he holds membership in the American Percheron Horse Association and follows recommended health testing for soundness and conformation.

Horses are raised in open pastures and stabled in roomy barns that encourage movement and social interaction. Foals begin gentle handling at birth to foster trust and a calm demeanor around handlers. Mares and stallions are selected for longevity and temperament, and regular evaluations at local agricultural fairs offer insights on gait and carriage.

His farm combines family traditions and careful record keeping to ensure bloodlines suited for driving, draft work, or show. Visitors note the even temperaments and sturdy builds that reflect balanced nutrition and thoughtful training. Seasonal turnout on managed pasture promotes hoof health and muscle development.
