Cedar Crest

Cedar Crest, Percheron horses, Richfield Springs, NY, serves the Mohawk Valley and Upstate New York near Utica. Mark R. Detweiler has bred Percheron stock for more than a decade, maintaining registration with national associations and following breed-specific health protocols.

Horses live in pasture-based paddocks with daily turnout and gentle handling to support their social nature. Foals are introduced early to visitors and develop confidence through a gradual training routine on quiet farm trails. The farm’s roots date back two generations, and its careful breeding has produced horses noted for calm temperaments and strong work ethic. Visitors often remark on the relaxed atmosphere and the willingness of the stallions and mares to engage with handlers. Many of the breeding stock have competed in regional draft horse shows, showcasing their strength and steady gait. Health records are available for review and the team prioritizes soundness over size when selecting pairings.
