Mose Schmidt

Mose Schmidt, Percheron breeder in Flemingsburg, KY, serves northern Kentucky near Cincinnati. He has bred Percheron horses for over ten years and maintains membership in breed organizations with routine health testing for all breeding stock. His horses are raised on open pastures with shelter available around the clock, and each foal receives daily handling from an early age. He encourages pasture turnout in mixed groups to support social development, and many graduates move on to driving or riding careers with a calm temperament. His approach reflects a family farm tradition focused on animal welfare and steady growth across the region.

Foals typically spend their first months alongside experienced broodmares and are introduced to draft work progressively. Many of his horses have performed in local exhibitions and draft demonstrations, showcasing the balanced temperament that characterizes his program. He also collaborates with local farriers and veterinarians to maintain optimal hoof and dental care year-round.
