Thomas Kvistad

Thomas Kvistad breeds Percheron horses in Boulder, MT, serving the Rocky Mountain foothills near Helena. With more than a decade of Percheron breeding experience, he holds membership in the American Percheron Horse Association and follows annual veterinary wellness screens and genetic health testing for his stock. His horses graze on sustainable pasture mixes and have year-round access to shelter and fresh water, while daily handling helps build trust and gentle manners.

On the farm’s century-old hay fields, Kvistad’s draft horses appear at local equine exhibitions and are praised for their calm steadiness under harness. Foals grow up alongside older brood mares and engage with local pony clubs, gaining early social experience before leaving for their new homes. He emphasizes a low-stress training style that highlights the breed’s natural willingness to work in draft events and farm routines.
