Matthew D. Pickup

Matthew D. Pickup and Kathy Pickup, Percheron, Paris, KY, are based in Bourbon County and the Bluegrass region near Lexington. They maintain membership in the American Percheron Horse Association and follow detailed health programs, including routine veterinary care, farrier visits, and core vaccination schedules. Their breeding approach emphasizes selective pairing to promote strong conformation, sound movement, and a calm, trainable temperament.

Foals are raised in pasture-based settings with regular human interaction, and yearlings enjoy supervised trail outings to build confidence and adaptability. The farm has roots spanning several generations, which brings a sense of tradition to every aspect of daily care and training. Visitors often remark on the horses’ steady dispositions and the thoughtfully arranged paddocks, barns, and arenas that support well-rounded development.

They participate in regional draft horse workshops and host occasional farm visits for fellow enthusiasts to observe herd management practices. Several mares trace back to foundation bloodlines noted for durability and a willing work ethic in both farm and show environments.
