Karen Kinnicutt

Karen Kinnicutt, Percheron horse breeder in Poughkeepsie, NY, raises animals in Dutchess County and the Hudson Valley near Albany. She has been breeding Percheron horses for over a decade and maintains registrations with the American Percheron Horse Association while following recommended health testing. Her mares and foals graze in rotational pastures to support natural movement, while daily grooming and grounded training help build trust. Their attention to temperament has produced several horses suited for driving clubs and farm exhibitions.

The property has been in her family for three generations, fostering a deep connection to working draft horses. She collaborates with local farriers and equine dentists to ensure correct hoof angles and dental health before horses leave the farm. Each foal is handled from birth and benefits from a routine veterinary check on hoof care and vision screening. Nutritious hay, balanced grains and free access to clean water support steady growth and durable bone development.
