Tim Childers

Tim Childers, Percheron horses, Irvine, KY, Estill County and the Appalachian region near Lexington. He has bred Percheron horses for more than a decade and is a member of the American Percheron Horse Association, with routine health screenings for all breeding stock.

His horses are raised in pasture-based herds, receiving daily turnout and gentle handling to encourage calm temperaments and early socialization. Foals arrive in a historic barn on rolling pastures, and several have gone on to excel in draft performance classes at regional fairs.

The farm’s combination of traditional draft horse care and modern welfare standards offers a balanced environment for growth and training. Prospective owners often remark on the well-matched temperaments and sturdy build that reflect careful lineage selection. Tim’s pride in preserving the gentle strength of Percheron lines is rooted in years of hands-on experience and a deep respect for the breed’s draft heritage.
