Christopher D. Howell

Christopher D. Howell raises Percheron horses in Taylorsville, NC, in Alexander County and the foothills near Charlotte. He maintains connections with recognized Percheron associations and follows recommended equine health testing guidelines, scheduling annual veterinary exams, dental evaluations, and routine farrier care.

His breeding program reflects more than a decade of refining bloodlines to emphasize sturdy conformation and gentle disposition. Horses live on spacious pastures with daily turnout and early handling to encourage socialization, while a balanced nutrition plan supports steady growth. Each foal is gradually introduced to farm machinery and turnout in winter shelters to build adaptability.

Howell’s low-stress handling routines extend to transparent communication with owners and regular farm visits. Visitors often remark on the calm energy in the barn, and many local owners praise the reliable temperament of his Percherons. Feedback highlights the comprehensive care and well-adjusted nature of the horses.
