Paige Kradel, Percheron horses, Butler, PA, in western Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh. She works directly with the American Percheron Horse Association registry and ensures annual health screenings, including joint and hoof evaluations, for her breeding stock. Raised on a multigenerational family farm, her herd is accustomed to daily turnout, pasture access, and hands-on handling from an early age.

Horses live in spacious stalls with fresh bedding replaced daily and enjoy regular paddock rotation with compatible peers. They receive a balanced diet featuring locally sourced hay, grains, and mineral supplements, supported by routine farrier and dental care. Foals are microchipped and officially registered before weaning, reflecting attention to lineage, traceability, and long-term well-being. This blend of traditional breeding practices and attuned welfare standards yields Percherons noted for their calm temperament, sure-footedness, and adaptability.
