Nick Bearley and Melody Bearley, Percheron horse breeders in Ludell, KS, northwest Kansas near Kansas City. They have been raising Percherons for more than a decade, participating in the American Percheron Horse Association and performing regular health testing on all breeding stock. Their horses are kept on pasture-based paddocks with access to shelter, and each foal receives ongoing handling and exposure to farm sounds and visitors from birth.

The Bearleys emphasize natural hoof care alongside balanced nutrition to support strong bone development and sound temperaments. Several Percherons from their farm have placed in regional shows, while others are trained for light driving and therapy programs. A recent buyer review highlights the Bearleys’ attention to detail and calm approach during weaning and early training. Visitors appreciate the farm’s peaceful setting and the breeders’ openness in discussing Percheron genetics and care practices.
