Wendell Simmons

Wendell Simmons breeds Percheron horses in Olive Hill, KY, in the Bluegrass region near Lexington. He has been involved in Percheron breeding for years and maintains membership with national Percheron registries while conducting routine health evaluations on mature stock. His approach centers on pasture-based care, early handling of foals and consistent socialization to support calm temperaments.

Animals are kept in spacious paddocks with shelter and rotational grazing across well-maintained pastures. All breeding stock undergo annual dental examinations, joint evaluations and regular hoof trims. Foals remain with broodmares in sheltered paddocks until weaning, which allows them to develop social bonds and physical strength. His Percheron horses often display steady temperaments at local agricultural fairs and are well-suited for light farm work and draft exhibitions. Wendell’s farm balances traditional breeding principles with attentive daily care to uphold sturdy conformation and gentle dispositions.
