Ryan Bartsh is a Percheron horse breeder in Plainview, MN, serving southeastern Minnesota near Rochester. He has been raising Percheron horses for more than ten years, maintaining membership in national equine associations and conducting routine veterinary health testing on all breeding stock. All foals are registered with the national Percheron registry, and genetic panels are checked to support sound breeding decisions.

Each foal is born in pasture settings and introduced to handling from the earliest weeks to encourage calm temperament and strong bonds. Stalls and paddocks feature clean bedding and shelter, while turnout areas are monitored daily to ensure safety and social interaction. Training focuses on natural draft instincts, with gentle groundwork leading to proficiency in pulling carts or farm implements. A quiet approach to handling reflects a belief that trust is earned through consistency and respect. Owners often note the horses’ steady nature and versatility, praising their ease of management on small farms and trail rides.
