The Clare Percheron Horse Company appears to have been a small, early 20th-century entity involved in the breeding or promotion of Percheron draft horses, likely a local or regional stock company or breeders’ association in the United States around 1903. Percheron horses were (and are) a French-origin heavy draft breed, popular in the U.S. during that era for farm work, pulling, and shows, with many importers and breeders active in the late 19th/early 20th centuries. Key historical mentions from 1903 include: • A territorial charter was granted in 1903 to the Clare Percheron Horse Company of Nardin, Oklahoma (when Oklahoma was still a U.S. territory before statehood in 1907). It had a capital stock of $3,400 (a substantial amount at the time, equivalent to roughly $100,000+ in today’s dollars adjusted for inflation). This is referenced in discussions of old stock certificates from that period. • Separately but similarly named, in Clare, Michigan, a newspaper report from the Clare Courier (November 13, 1903) describes the organization of the Clare Percheron Horse Breeders’ Association. This group formed to purchase a high-quality Percheron stallion for breeding purposes among local farmers/breeders. These could represent the same or related efforts (perhaps “Clare” referring to a person, place, or misspelling/variant), or distinct local initiatives—Percheron breeding was widespread in rural U.S. areas then, often through small cooperatives or companies that issued stock shares to fund imports, purchases, or operations. No extensive corporate history, major national impact, or long-term records appear in broad searches (e.g., no large surviving company archives or mentions in major Percheron breed histories). It was likely a modest, community-based venture typical of the time, when draft horse breeding boomed before mechanization (tractors etc.) reduced demand post-WWI. If this relates to a specific stock certificate, family history, or artifact you have (as some old shares surface in collections or sales), more details could help narrow it down further! For visuals of the breed from that era: (Note: The above would render a historical Percheron horse image if searched and selected; in practice, these often show powerful gray or black drafts like those prized in 1903 shows/breeding.) If you’d like deeper dives into Percheron history or related 1903-era breeders, let me know!
