Gary L. Carr and Kathy E. Carr, Percheron breeders in Mchenry, MD, western Maryland and the Appalachian Mountains near Cumberland. They have been raising Percheron horses for over twenty years and register each foal with the National Percheron Association.

All horses live in spacious paddocks with access to shaded run-in sheds, balanced feed plans, and early handling that promotes gentle temperaments and sound development. The Carrs operate on a family-run farm where traditional draft horse techniques combine with modern care, including routine farrier visits and tailored fitness programs.

Prospective owners often comment on the calm disposition, athletic build, and robust health evident in each horse. Several herd sires and dams undergo health screenings for genetic conditions, ensuring foals are bred for longevity and versatility. Regular training sessions introduce foals to harness work and basic ground manners before they leave home.
