Shannon Ostby

Shannon Ostby and Denise Ostby are Percheron breeders based in Grygla, MN in northwest Minnesota near Minneapolis. They bring years of experience raising draft horses, holding membership in the Percheron Horse Association and following recommended health-testing protocols for respiratory and metabolic conditions.

Their Percheron foals are raised in family-care pastures, introduced to basic handling, farriery, and light harness work before weaning. The team values sound conformation and gentle temperaments, offering each animal a grassy turnout and regular hoof and dental care. A neighbor’s review notes the Ostbys’ willingness to share knowledge on harness driving and farm routines.

Their horses have appeared in local plow days and community heritage events, reflecting a blend of traditional farm life and attentive breeding practices. They are committed to matching each horse with a suitable home, offering ongoing guidance on training and integration into rural life.
