Kevin Young

Kevin Young is a Percheron breeder in Hamilton, NY, Madison County and the Central New York region near Syracuse. He has been raising Percheron horses for over a decade and follows guidelines from the American Percheron Horse Association on health testing and breed standards.

His horses live in pasture-based paddocks with regular turnout, daily interaction and early training to foster calm dispositions and adaptability. Young also runs seasonal trail rides for younger horses to build confidence and steady trust in handlers. The farm maintains a small-scale, family-run atmosphere where each foal is recorded for lineage and given routine veterinary checkups.

Several of his Percherons have placed in regional shows for conformation and gentle temperament, reflecting a steady commitment to the breed’s strength and grace. Visitors often comment on the horses’ calm demeanor and the farm’s open fields lined with mature oaks. Foals are introduced to basic harness work before yearling evaluations to promote lifelong soundness.
