Robert Cooper

Robert Cooper and Brett Cooper breed Percheron horses in Newport, WA, in the Inland Northwest near Spokane. They have been working with this draft breed for several years and follow national registry standards along with recommended health evaluations.

The mares and geldings live in spacious pastures with regular human interaction and turnout that supports their calm temperament. Daily grooming and groundwork routines help the horses develop confidence around people. Visitors note the horses’ even disposition and willingness to train for farm work or light driving under experienced guidance. They have hosted educational farm days for local agricultural youth groups to share insights into horse care and draft work.

Operating from a family farm setting established over two generations, they emphasize gentle handling from foaling onward. Their approach aims to preserve the breed’s natural strength and steady nature in each young horse.
