Eric Carrender

Eric Carrender, Percheron breeder in Knightstown, IN, serves Henry County and the Indianapolis area. He has been raising Percheron horses for over a decade and holds membership in the American Percheron Horse Association while maintaining annual health screenings and conformation evaluations.

Reproductive plans are tailored to strengthen natural movement and maintain a calm, willing temperament across generations. Visiting equine professionals often comment on the sturdy bone structure and steady gait that characterize his young stock. Visitors note an open-stable design that allows foals freedom of movement while remaining close to their mothers. Alongside traditional breeding methods, he documents pedigrees carefully to track bloodlines and supports owners with detailed care guidelines.
