Emery Zook

Emery Zook, Percheron horses, Spickard, MO, operates a family farm in northwest Missouri near Kansas City. He follows registry guidelines and conducts regular health screenings for common draft horse conditions to support long-term soundness. His breeding program emphasizes pasture-based rearing and daily handling to promote a calm temperament. Foals are socialized early and accustomed to farm work, helping them adapt smoothly to riding or driving roles.

The farm spans open pastures with run-in shelters, allowing horses to socialize naturally through all seasons. This steady temperament makes the horses well suited to both farm tasks and recreational riding. Zook also stays involved in local equine groups, sharing insights and resources with fellow draft horse breeders. A balanced diet of high-quality hay and grains is tailored to each horse’s workload, with routine hoof trimming and dental check-ups by qualified professionals.
