He has bred pedigree Percheron horses for more than 15 years and holds active membership in national draft horse associations.

Foals are raised in family herds on pasture with daily handling from foaling through weaning to foster calm confidence around people. Working stock share open-wood pasture and turnouts, where they develop strength and responsiveness in a low-stress setting. Visitors note the horses’ steady gait and willingness to engage in farm tasks, reflecting careful socialization and groundwork.

The farm’s roots date to three generations of draft horse families, blending traditional selections with modern welfare standards. Kauffman horses regularly appear at county fairs and draft horse shows, demonstrating durable temperaments and sound work ethics.
