Benjamin Cade Schmidt

Benjamin Cade Schmidt breeds Percheron horses in Verden, OK, Grady County and the central Oklahoma region near Oklahoma City. Over the past twelve years he has honed his program by following industry-standard health screenings for draught breeds and maintaining records in national registry programs. His breeding philosophy emphasizes sound structure and balanced temperament, with each foal raised to thrive in pasture settings before any saddle work.

His herd enjoys daily turnout on native grasses and early human interaction to promote tractable manners. The farm’s multigenerational heritage combines traditional farrier care with tailored nutrition plans designed for steady growth. He also collaborates with a local equine therapy provider, extending the gentle strength of Percherons to community programs. Prospective buyers consistently remark on the animals’ calm presence and muscular build, a testament to the breeder’s careful selection process. Several of his foals have placed in draft horse classes at regional agricultural fairs.
