Harold R. Snelling

Harold R. Snelling breeds Percheron horses in Burlington, Kentucky, in the Ohio River Valley near Cincinnati. He has cared for draft horses for more than a decade and maintains membership in regional equine associations to support best practices and health testing.

His pasture-based approach emphasizes turnout, regular farrier visits and balanced nutrition to promote strong bone development and sturdy hooves, while the stable includes spacious stalls with soft bedding and a covered round pen for safe exercise. Each foal receives individual attention and basic halter training before joining group turnout, helping to build confidence and social skills. Health records and basic genetic screenings are available to support informed breeding decisions.

The farm’s roots extend back to traditional draft horse breeding, reflecting a respect for working heritage and gentle temperaments. Many local families note the horses’ steady nature, making them well suited for both light agriculture and community events.
