Joe Knepp, Jr

Joe Knepp, Jr and Lois Knepp are Percheron horse breeders in Loogootee, IN, in the Ohio River Valley near Evansville. With more than a decade of experience, they follow health testing guidelines set by the Percheron Horse Association of America. Their farm blends pasture turnout with rotational grazing principles and daily hands-on care, allowing young animals to socialize in a small herd before moving to roomy, well-ventilated stalls. Foals are handled gently from birth to foster trust and adaptability.

They maintain a quiet, family-centered environment where each mare and foal pair receives personalized daily attention. A long history of breeding on their property supports strong bloodlines and sound confirmation in every colt and filly. The Knepps’ commitment to clear records and ongoing consultation with local veterinarians ensures horses well-suited for farm work, driving competitions, or leisure riding. They participate in regional draft horse events to share practices and support breed development.
