Ryan Murphy

Ryan Murphy is a Percheron breeder in Surgoinsville, TN, in Northeast Tennessee near Johnson City. He has more than a decade of experience, holds membership in the Percheron Horse Association, and arranges annual veterinary screenings to maintain soundness and temperament.

At the family-run 75-acre farm, broodmares and stallions graze on rolling pastures, and young stock learn ground manners through daily handling and positive reinforcement. Seasonal nutrition plans and routine hoof care support healthy growth, while gradual introduction to harness work readies each animal for farm or carriage duties. Clients have noted the calm disposition and solid conformation of Murphy’s horses, especially in pulling trials and therapeutic riding programs.

A focus on clear communication and respectful handling reflects a commitment to breeding Percherons that combine tradition with gentle temperaments. Daily turnout in mixed-age groups encourages herd bonding and prepares Percherons for a variety of equestrian and draft activities.
