Timothy Zehr

Timothy Zehr, Percheron horses, Flat Rock, IL, Crawford County and the Wabash Valley near Terre Haute, maintains a small family farm dedicated to gentle linebreeding. It has been breeding Percheron horses for over a decade, holds membership in recognized breed organizations and follows standard health testing guidelines.

They focus on daily turnout on rolling pastures, early handling and pasture-based weaning to encourage balanced growth and calm temperaments. Many of the young horses find roles in driving, therapy programs and light farm work, reflecting a versatility that Zehr values. Owners often remark on the horses’ steady disposition and willingness to learn. The farm follows a pasture rotation system and invites local farriers and veterinarians for routine checkups. Their approach honors the breed’s heritage as a workhorse while embracing modern welfare practices. Zehr participates in regional horse shows and offers mentorship to new breeders.
