Emily Elsenpeter

Emily Elsenpeter raises Percheron horses in Brainerd, MN, situated in Crow Wing County and central Minnesota near St. Cloud. She participates in regional breeding events and follows guidelines from national draft horse registries, ensuring each foal receives routine veterinary health screenings.

Horses are raised on spacious pastures with daily handling to support socialized, dependable temperaments and receive individualized attention throughout the year. Visitors often note the farm’s welcoming atmosphere, and some foals have gone on to participate in local draft horse exhibitions, reflecting steady progress in show ring performance. The owner’s lifelong affinity for draft breeds is evident in meticulous record keeping and willingness to adapt management practices based on each horse’s needs. Foals spend their first months under close supervision to establish solid footing and early desensitization, a foundation that supports confidence under saddle or harness work later on.
