Amanda Dragos

Amanda Dragos breeds Percheron horses in Koshkonong, MO, in the Ozark Highlands near Springfield. She has more than 12 years of experience in Percheron breeding, following standards from the Percheron Association of America. Every breeding sire and mare undergoes regular veterinary exams, X-rays, and health screenings before pairing. Each foal grows up in open pastures with daily handling to support calm, confident dispositions.

Her farm blends traditional draft horse husbandry with modern care practices, offering balanced nutrition, seasonal conditioning, and qualified farrier services on site. Horses train gradually for light driving and farm work, reflecting their historical role and encouraging strong bone development. Visitors often remark on the herd’s steady gait and gentle nature during on-site visits or local driving demonstrations. Several young horses from the program have gone on to roles in community equine-assisted therapy programs, a point of quiet pride for Dragos.
