Silver Star

Silver Star, Percheron horses in Topeka, IN, are located in Central Indiana near Indianapolis. Jerald Kurtz and Kevin Kurtz have raised draft horses for years, following national draft horse registry guidelines, maintaining regular veterinary screenings, and participating in local equine associations.

Health care includes annual vaccinations, dental exams, and genetic screening. Colts and fillies are born on pasture and handled daily to build trust, then transition to paddocks with natural turnout and routine farrier visits. Nutrition is based on balanced forage and grain blends, and each horse benefits from individualized conditioning as they grow.

Rolling pastures and shaded run-in sheds support the herd through every season. The farm hosts group demonstrations for youth organizations to highlight draft horse history and stewardship. Owners often note the gentle temperament and sturdy build of their Percherons, reflecting a breeding focus on sound conformation and work ethic.
