Richard Knepp

Richard and Sharon Knepp are breeders of Percheron horses in Montgomery, IN, in east central Indiana near Indianapolis. They follow American Percheron Horse Association guidelines and perform regular health screenings, including equine metabolic and eye exams, for their breeding stock.

Their horses are raised in a pasture-based environment with daily handling and early socialization alongside farm animals and visitors in open paddocks. Many of the foals grow into gentle draft prospects known for steady temperaments and reliable performance. The farm includes dedicated foaling stalls and a climate-controlled barn where each mare and newborn receive round-the-clock attention.

Over several years of breeding they have refined selection for sound conformation and willing attitudes. Their farm hosts seasonal visits by 4-H clubs and agriculture students to learn about draft horse care and management. Their approach emphasizes transparent communication and ongoing support for owners of all experience levels.
