Ryan Smith

Ryan Smith is a Percheron horse breeder in Birdseye, UT, in Garfield County near Panguitch. He has been involved in draft horse breeding for several years and holds membership in the National Percheron Horse Association. All horses undergo regular veterinary examinations, a structured deworming schedule and careful evaluation before breeding.

The animals enjoy daily turnout in open pastures with access to comfortable stabling and receive early socialization around people and farm equipment. Daily nutrition is managed through a balanced mix of hay, oats and mineral supplements tailored to each horse’s age and workload. Foals often learn basic groundwork and trail skills under gentle guidance, helping them develop a calm temperament suitable for a variety of uses. Smith’s Percherons have been chosen for carriage events and light ranch work, demonstrating versatility beyond traditional draft roles. A local owner noted the sturdy build and even temperament of their Percheron foal, reflecting Ryan Smith’s attention to soundness and practical handling.
