Marvin Gingerich

Marvin Gingerich, Percheron horses, Campbellsville, KY, in Central Kentucky near Louisville. He has been working with this draft breed for over a decade in a family-run setting, following registry guidelines and humane handling practices. As a member of regional equine associations and national registries, he follows recommended health testing, genetic screening, and selective breeding protocols.

Foals grow up in spacious pastures adjacent to well-ventilated barns, with daily turnouts, regular grooming, and early handling to promote confidence and gentle temperaments. The herd resides on a family farm where each animal receives individualized feeding plans, regular hoof care, and routine veterinary checkups throughout the year.

Year-round training introduces foals to in-hand driving and simple harness work under experienced guidance, building trust and responsiveness. Several of his Percherons have placed well at county fairs and local draft horse shows, reflecting steady gaits, balanced conformation, and willing attitudes. Visitors frequently comment on the horses’ calm presence, the farm’s quiet, open pastures, and the sense of genuine care evident in every encounter.
