Julie Foster

Julie Foster raises Percheron horses in Overland Park, KS, Johnson County and northeast Kansas near Kansas City. She follows standard registry guidelines and arranges regular veterinary checks, including screenings for common draft-horse conditions, and has managed Percheron bloodlines for many years. Foals grow up grazing in open pasture, receive daily handling to foster calm, confident temperaments, and join adults in climate-controlled stalls with room to socialize and exercise.

The farm’s rolling fields support rotational grazing and natural forage management, which uphold sustainable land use and contribute to the horses’ well-being. Many owners note the steady dispositions of Foster’s horses during farm demonstrations and light-draft work, reflecting the breed’s characteristic strength and poise. Julie also provides guidance on draft-horse handling and training for new owners integrating animals into small farms or therapy programs. She carefully selects breeding pairs based on temperament and conformation to preserve gentle nature and robust build. Offspring have appeared in regional draft exhibitions, showcasing their aptitude for farm work and public demonstrations.
