Ruth Bru

Ruth Bru, Percheron breeder in Lucerne, MO, works from Putnam County and the Missouri River Valley near Kansas City. She has been breeding Percheron horses for over a decade, with registered bloodlines recognized by the American Percheron Horse Association. Every horse receives annual health checks, regular farrier visits and an open-stall living arrangement with daily turnout.

Bred on a family farm that dates back three generations, these draft horses grow up alongside goats and sheep to foster calm temperaments. Morning grooming and frequent handling help them adapt to farm chores and trail rides. Nutrition is tailored with a mix of pasture grazing and fortified feed, with shelter provided year-round. Owners appreciate the steady growth rate and the even temperament that make these horses suitable for both show rings and farm work.
