Ken Shelton is an attorney who bred and showed Tennessee Walking Horses for over 40 years. He became interested in the Peruvian horses and purchased his first Peruvian in 1995.

Vicky Shelton grew up with horses on their farm in South Carolina and returned to horses in 1982 when she discovered the Peruvian Horse. She bought, showed and bred Peruvians and established a training center in Tennessee, Liddle Peruvians.  She is currently a Judge for the Peruvian Paso horse.

Shelton Peruvians is located on a 160 acre farm in North Alabama. Since Ken and Vicky have combined their horses, several new pastures and stall facilities have been added to the property.

Armando Alca and Carlos Gallegos from Peru  help maintain a large breeding, training and showing operation for the Sheltons. With 9 grandchildren to keep happy, Ken has established many trails, picnic areas, and well stocked pond to enhance the ambiance of the farm. All of the children love the horses, so even the stallions receive TLC and an occasional carrot and only have to repay by an occasional passenger on the back or front of the saddle.
