Rex Wempen

Rex Wempen, Percheron horses, Minden, Nebraska, is a breeder whose program blends tradition with attentive care. His farm in Kearney County and central Nebraska near Grand Island follows national registry guidelines and incorporates regular health screenings and genetic evaluations for soundness and temperament. With several years of hands-on experience, Wempen emphasizes pasture turnout and gentle handling from foalhood. Each young horse learns basic harness work alongside companion animals to build confidence and social skills.

Brood mares graze on rotational paddocks adjacent to open barns that encourage natural movement and strong bone development. Foals benefit from daily human interaction and seasonal farrier visits to maintain hoof health. Several young stock have earned recognition at county fairs for their balanced temperaments. The result is a steady line of Percheron horses suited to light draft work or recreational driving, valued by local farms and professional teams.
