Steven Palosaari

Steven Palosaari breeds Percheron horses in Chassell, MI, Houghton County and the Upper Peninsula near Marquette. He has over twelve years of experience breeding draft horses and holds memberships in the American Percheron Horse Association and regional draft horse clubs.

Each horse is raised on open pasture with daily rotation, access to run-in sheds, and gentle handling from weaning through basic groundwork and training. Veterinary screenings for joint health, respiratory soundness, and equine viral arteritis guide every breeding decision, and foals begin halter training and trail riding in their first months. His farm preserves historic working horse traditions and he shares measured performance assessments at local fairs and regional shows throughout each season.

The animals enjoy a calm environment beside woodlands and streams, where socialization with handlers and other livestock promotes steady temperaments. New owners receive guidance on nutrition, hoof care, and continued training plans for each foal they welcome home. Families and professionals value the clear lineage records and respectful approach he brings to every aspect of Percheron breeding.
