About Sam & Kellie Rettinger

Sam and Kellie Rettinger own Whispery Pines Percherons in Kingsville, Ohio and have been involved in the equine industry for their entire lives. Sam grew up with draft horses and began driving and showing them at a young age. In addition to show hitching, Sam currently trains their horses to work at the couple’s farm and completes logging projects. Kellie grew up riding and showing quarter horses in hunt seat, western pleasure, gaming, and cutting. After meeting her husband more than 14 years ago, she began to drive, ride, and show draft horses with Sam. The Rettingers bring their horses to several events each year to show in expos, and different hitch and riding classes. They also provide carriage rides with their Percherons for a variety of events including weddings, birthdays, hayrides, and winter sleigh rides.
