Nelson Hoover

Nelson Hoover, Percheron horse breeder in Pembroke, KY, is based in Christian County and the Bluegrass region near Lexington. He follows Percheron Horse Association guidelines, ensures regular veterinary health checks and conformation evaluations. The operation draws on generational traditions to nurture each horse’s potential within a landscape of rolling pastures and sturdy barns.

Foals spend their early months in open paddocks with constant human interaction to foster confidence and ease of handling. Mature horses benefit from tailored nutrition plans and turnout routines that build strength while preserving soundness. Each year a limited group of well-socialized Percherons joins families and farms that value steady temperaments and longevity. Visitors often note the herd’s gentle demeanor and the farm’s emphasis on long-term relationships with owners.
