Alphie S. Hostetler is a Percheron breeder in Reedsville, PA, serving Mifflin County and the Susquehanna Valley near Harrisburg. Hostetler has been involved in Percheron breeding for several years, registering foals with the Percheron Horse Association and performance testing for soundness and temperament.

Foals grow up on spacious pastureland adjacent to the farmstead, receiving regular handling to support calm, willing temperaments. Several of Hostetler’s Percherons have competed in regional draft horse shows, demonstrating both strength and a composed presence in harness classes. Every horse is offered basic farrier care, routine veterinary oversight and a turnout schedule tailored to individual needs.

Hostetler’s farm borders a small woodlot, providing natural shade and varied terrain that supports overall soundness. Training emphasis can include light draft tasks or pasture companion roles.
