James Kuper

James Kuper, Percheron breeder in Alexandria, Kentucky, brings robust draft horses to enthusiasts in Northern Kentucky near Cincinnati. He has devoted years to breeding Percheron horses and follows American Percheron Horse Association guidelines with routine health screenings to support sound growth.

At his family-run farm, a spacious timber-frame barn adjoins rolling pastures where horses have year-round access to clean water and shaded loafing areas. Nutrition is tailored to support healthy growth, combining forage with fortified grains formulated for draft breeds. In his pasture-based operation, foals grow up alongside adult mares on spacious fields shaded by oak and maple trees. Early socialization is a priority, with young horses introduced to grooming, leading and farm tasks from weaning onward to develop calm temperaments. His approach emphasizes gentle handling and exposure to varied environments, preparing horses for riding, driving and light farm work. Families appreciate the steady dispositions and adaptability his horses show in arenas or on trails.
