Ronald Jackson

Ronald Jackson breeds Percheron horses in Downing, MO, in northeast Missouri near Quincy. Jackson has more than a decade of experience in selective breeding and maintains membership in national draft horse associations while coordinating routine veterinary evaluations for joint and metabolic health.

His horses are raised on spacious pastures with rotational grazing, access to barn shelters in winter, and receive daily handling to encourage steady, social temperaments. Stables are cleaned regularly and bedding is refreshed to support comfort, and pasture rotation helps maintain hoof strength. Jackson emphasizes early exposure to farm activities so foals grow accustomed to human interaction and ground work before weaning.

Neighbors often comment on the consistent calm nature of his horses and the clarity of his breeding records. His careful record keeping helps track lineage and temperament trends over generations. Several horses bred here have gone on to light farm work and local draft demonstrations, reflecting the thoughtful approach to their development.
