Amy Kalmus

Amy Kalmus raises Percheron horses in Colorado Springs, CO, serving El Paso County and the Front Range near Denver. She has overseen a small draft horse program for many years with attention to breed standards and gentle handling.

She follows best practices for draft horse breeding, including annual veterinary evaluations and routine farrier care to support sound development. Mares and foals are housed in a barn with open stalls and have daily turnout in pasture, allowing natural social interactions and steady muscle growth. Gentle handling begins within the first week to foster trust and ease transitions to riding or light farm work.

Balanced conformation and steady temperament guide her selections to preserve the breed’s traditional strength. Her feeding regimen blends forage, grains, and minerals tailored to each horse’s workload and age. Daily pasture time and social turnout are prioritized to promote mental well-being and healthy growth.
