Charles E. Underwood

Charles E. Underwood breeds Percherons in Allentown, PA in the Lehigh Valley and eastern Pennsylvania near Philadelphia. Underwood has spent over a decade raising Percheron horses with a focus on traditional draft horse care and follows guidelines from the American Percheron Horse Association for regular health screenings. His farm allows the horses to graze on pasture and receive daily handling from an early age, which fosters a calm temperament and strong footing.

In recent years his foal crops have included state fair winners and a black colt praised for solid confirmation and a steady gate. Visitors to the farm observe training sessions and learn how natural hoof care and gentle groundwork shape each horse’s development. Charles sources mares and stallions with documented temperaments and structural soundness to ensure consistency across his breeding program. The barns feature spacious stalls with ventilation and soft bedding to support muscle recovery after turnout.
