Donnie Townsend

Donnie Townsend breeds Percheron horses in Greenup, KY, within Greenup County and the Appalachian region near Ashland. He has more than a decade of experience, maintains membership in the national Percheron association, and follows recommended health screenings for joint health and temperament. Regular farrier work and veterinary checkups are coordinated to support sound hooves and overall wellness. His horses graze on rolling pastures with constant access to clean water and shelter, and foals take part in daily handling routines that foster a balanced temperament.

Handlers work in small teams to ensure personalized care and early training. The program emphasizes gentle training from an early age, and many of these draft horses have gone on to tasks in farm or forestry work. The farm sits across spacious acreage with sturdy barns, turnout paddocks, and hilltop views that help these large horses develop strength and stamina.
