Justin Blankenship

Justin Blankenship is a Percheron breeder in Sullivan, MO, Franklin County and the Ozarks near St. Louis.

He has spent over a decade working with draft horses on his family’s farm and maintains memberships in national equine associations to stay current on health and breeding standards. All breeding stock undergoes soundness exams and regular farrier care, and feeding practices emphasize forage quality and seasonal pasture rotation. Foals from his program are handled daily from birth to build steady temperaments and social confidence in both people and other animals.

Rather than focusing solely on show ribbons, he pairs bloodlines proven for sturdy bone structure and gentle disposition, attributes that have earned praise at local fairs and carriage events. Prospective owners note the horses’ steady gait and ease of handling in agricultural and recreational settings. He limits annual foal crops to focus on personalized care and thorough evaluation of each young horse’s development.
