Chris Y Schwartz

Chris Y Schwartz breeds Percheron horses in Eldorado Springs, Missouri, serving southwest Missouri near Springfield. Schwartz has guided breeding and training efforts for more than a decade and participates in the Percheron Horse Association while following established health testing guidelines. Their draft horses are raised on open pasture with daily turnout and receive early handling to encourage a calm disposition around livestock and machinery. The operation maintains a modest herd size to ensure individual attention for each mare and foal, promoting healthy growth and social bonding.

The farm environment includes sturdy shelter, rotational grazing to support strong bone development, and regular farrier and veterinary care. Emphasis on groundwork and positive reinforcement helps prepare each horse for show rings, farm work or recreational driving. Horses from the program have been noted for sound structure and steady temperaments at county fairs and draft demonstrations. Prospective owners often note the clear communication and detailed records provided throughout the adoption process.
