Scott Ohnstad and Andrea Ohnstad, Percheron horses, Queen Creek, AZ, Maricopa County and the Phoenix Valley. They have been raising draft horses for several years and maintain membership in national registry programs to uphold breed standards.

Their breeding plan emphasizes correct conformation and sound movement, with foal development monitored from birth through initial training. Their horses live on spacious pastures with regular turnout, balanced nutrition plans, and daily handling to support soundness and temperament. Bloodlines trace back to European foundation stock, and each foal undergoes routine health screenings and soundness evaluations. Visitors note the calm nature of the young horses and the farm’s open-air barns, reflecting a focus on gentle socialization and practical draft training.

The farm’s proximity to desert landscapes informs their approach to hydration and shelter, ensuring horses stay comfortable in varying weather. A smaller herd size allows personalized care for each animal, which clients often praise for reliable temperament and readiness for working roles.
