Otto Mckenzie

Otto Mckenzie breeds Percheron horses in Whiteville, NC, in Southeastern North Carolina and the Cape Fear region near Wilmington. Otto Mckenzie has dedicated over a decade to breeding balanced Percherons, adhering to standards of the American Percheron Association and keeping up regular veterinary health screenings.

Foals are raised on pasture with attentive handling and early social interaction, promoting strong physical development and a calm, trainable nature. His mares and stallions live in family-style herds, ensuring foals learn natural herd behaviors under supervision. These Percherons often transition smoothly to farm work or driving roles, valued for their steady temperament and adaptability.

The farm’s modest, hands-on approach reflects a focus on welfare and lasting partnerships between horse and handler. The small herd size allows for individualized care and close monitoring of each horse’s well-being. Open pastures, run-in shelters, and rotational grazing support strong hooves and overall health.
