Brian Brenizer and Abby Brenizer raise Percheron horses in Norwalk, IA, in Warren County near Des Moines. They have been working with draft horses for several years and hold membership in the National Percheron Association, following recommended health screenings for hips, feet, and overall soundness.

Their horses live in pasture-based settings with daily turnout and gentle handling to encourage calm temperaments. Foals grow up alongside both people and other livestock to foster steady social growth. Respect for the breed’s heritage guides their hands-on approach, and many of their Percherons are noted for even temperaments in community riding programs and county fairs. The farm’s fenced paddocks rotate with fresh seasonal forage and winter hay, ensuring a balanced diet and gut health year-round. Barn visits are arranged by appointment and highlight the farm’s family-oriented atmosphere. They also participate in local equine welfare initiatives and occasional educational clinics.
