Kevin Tempus

Kevin Tempus and Marisa Tempus are Percheron breeders in Leon, WV, in southern West Virginia near Beckley. They have been raising Percheron horses for over ten years and maintain membership in the American Percheron Horse Association while following recommended veterinary protocols.

Their herd lives in a pasture-based setting with stable access and daily turnout, and foals receive gentle handling from birth to encourage early socialization. The farm balances past traditions with modern care, offering a quiet environment along a century-old barn and open fields. A recent review notes their calm temperament and sturdy conformation, reflecting careful selection over generations.

Their goal is to support each horse’s health and character through attentive management and a family atmosphere. Some of their horses carry bloodlines that have competed in regional shows and gentle schooling rides across rolling pastures. Regular hoof care, dental checks, and a forage-focused diet help maintain soundness and vitality year-round.
