Karen Young

Karen Young raises Percheron horses in Skaneateles, NE, on the Great Plains near Omaha. She has bred Percherons for more than a decade, follows American Percheron Association guidelines and ensures each mare and foal undergo regular veterinary health screenings. Horses are housed in open pastures with shelter available around the clock, and foals are introduced early to daily grooming and halter training for calm, confident handling.

Young’s quiet farm life emphasizes natural horsemanship, with gentle groundwork sessions and family involvement in feeding and turnout, fostering trust and adaptability in both riding prospects and driving stock. Several of her animals have earned ribbons at regional draft horse shows and participate in community parades, reflecting steady, patient preparation rather than fleeting competition drives. Prospective owners appreciate her transparent communication and willingness to share insights on breeding, training and long term draft horse care.
