Kelen Kahrs

Kelen Kahrs, Percheron horses, Republican City, NE, in the Republican River Valley near Lincoln, is dedicated to raising draft horses that blend strength with a gentle temperament. Its breeding program adheres to national association guidelines, and regular fertility and soundness examinations are overseen by a local veterinarian.

Foals spend their first year in family pastures, and daily handling begins shortly after birth to support confident temperaments. Emphasis on free movement and social groups helps horses learn natural behaviors and reduces stress. Raised on a small family farm, these Percherons develop steady temperaments suited to both driving and light farm work.

Kelen welcomes visitors to see horses in their familiar environment and discusses goals with each family to ensure a good fit. Buyers appreciate the detailed health records and ongoing support provided as each horse transitions to its next home. She remains engaged with peer breeders to stay informed about best practices.
