Peter J. Knepp

Peter J. Knepp breeds Percheron horses in Montgomery, Indiana, serving central Indiana and the Indianapolis area. He has welcomed Percheron foals for multiple seasons and works with regional and national draft horse associations to guide breeding decisions based on temperament and soundness. All horses are raised with pasture-based grazing, daily turnout and stall rest after foaling to support hoof and joint health.

Foals grow up in a barn that offers natural light, clay-loam soil paddocks and shaded loafing areas through the summer months. Each youngster receives early ground handling and is introduced to basic driving harness to encourage a steady temperament around farm traffic. Routine dental exams, farrier care and regular veterinary checkups help establish a strong foundation for longevity under saddle or in harness. With an emphasis on patient groundwork and consistent socialization, these horses adapt well to both family farms and light draft work.
