Jay Carlberg

Jay Carlberg breeds Percheron horses in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, serving Central Kentucky and the Louisville area. With registration through the Percheron Horse Association and adherence to breed standards, Carlberg ensures each foal meets conformation and health expectations. Every horse is raised on open pastures where they receive daily turnout and hands-on handling from an early age.

Calm temperament and strength are priorities, so youngsters learn to lead and respond to voice cues before light draft training around the farm. Feeding follows a veterinarian-approved ration and grooming sessions include regular hoof care and social interactions to nurture confidence. Regular pasture rotation and veterinarian collaboration ensure each horse maintains optimal health throughout all life stages. By emphasizing early social interactions and gradual exposure to farm equipment, the farm fosters resilient Percherons suited for both draft work and leisure riding.
