Ted Stone

Ted Stone and Traci Stone are Percheron breeders in North Platte, NE, Lincoln County and central Nebraska near Grand Island. They have been raising draft horses since the 1980s with membership in the Percheron Horse Association of America and routine health testing for genetic soundness.

Their mares and foals graze on open pasture with year-round access to shelter and fresh water. Daily handling from birth and guided exposure to farm routines help develop calm temperaments and strong handler bonds.

Several of their Percherons have placed at state fairs and local draft horse shows, earning praise for steady dispositions. Visitors often note the farm’s relaxed atmosphere and friendly approach to answering questions about breeding practices. Repeat buyers often highlight the thoughtful care given at every stage, noting consistent follow-up and support. The family has worked with draft horses for generations on the Nebraska plains.
