Walter Boots

Walter Boots, Percheron horses, Louisiana, MO, serves the Missouri River valley and St. Louis. They have been raising Percheron horses for more than a decade and hold memberships in national draft horse associations.

All foals are born on the family farm and spend their first months in wide pastures where they learn social skills from other horses. The couple follows a hands-on approach with daily handling and exposure to gentle groundwork that promotes confidence and good manners. Animals receive balanced nutrition from local grass hay and are checked regularly by an equine veterinarian, with infectious anemia testing done annually.

Weaned foals undergo early foundation work for driving or farm chores to support the breed’s working heritage. Many buyers note the horses’ steady temperaments and sturdy conformation when they visit the facility. Sheltered runs and an open-air barn offer protection in all seasons, reflecting the owners’ focus on comfort and welfare.
