Mahlon Horning

Mahlon Horning is a Percheron horse breeder in Hopkinsville, KY, in southwestern Kentucky near Nashville. He has been breeding draft horses for more than a decade and holds membership in the American Percheron Horse Association. Annual veterinary examinations, farrier care and DNA-based health screenings help maintain soundness and consistent type. The Horning farm’s family history dates back to the 1950s and hosts well-socialized foals raised with daily turnout and gentle handling.

Horses reside in spacious barns bedded with kiln-dried shavings and benefit from a forage-rich diet tailored to support growth. Foals receive early exposure to grooming, occasional arena schooling and traffic desensitization to prepare them for various roles. Clients often note the horses’ calm dispositions and appreciate the thoughtful guidance provided throughout the selection process. The farm’s participation in regional draft-horse demonstrations and local fairs reflects a commitment to preserving working-horse traditions.
