Debra Kunkle

Debra Kunkle is a Percheron breeder in Salem, OH, serving Columbiana County and the Youngstown area. She has more than ten years of experience with draft horses, holds membership in the American Percheron Horse Association and follows recommended health screening protocols for her breeding stock.

Her horses live in pasture and barn environments designed for comfort and social interaction, with daily turnout and gentle handling from foal to maturity. Her Percherons are known for their calm temperaments and sturdy conformation, traits she prioritizes when pairing mares and stallions. Owners receive thorough records of each foal’s growth, health history and vaccinations, along with regular photo updates.

Her farm reflects a longstanding family tradition of draft horse care, and several of her young Percherons have placed in regional performance classes. Horses rotate through mature pasture for forage diversity and spend time in well-ventilated barns to shelter from extreme weather.
