Fred Ickert

Fred Ickert, Percheron breeder in Flemingsburg, KY, serves Fleming County and the Bluegrass region near Lexington. He follows rigorous, widely recognized Percheron breeding standards and ensures all horses undergo common health-clearance measures and annual genetic evaluations under national guidelines.

Bloodlines trace to established French studs and each animal is registered with breed associations to maintain transparency. The horses graze on open pasture and receive daily handling to promote confident, social foals. Foals nurse under close supervision and receive basic hoof and dental care before weaning.

Fred raises each foal in a family-run setting with balanced training that respects natural instincts. The farm’s quiet rural location offers a low-stress environment and easy access to outdoor trails for light riding. Year-round veterinary and farrier care supports sound conformation, and many owners appreciate the calm temperament and sturdy build that define these gentle draft horses.
