Da-Lu

Da-Lu is a breeder of Percherons in Sheffield, IL, in Bureau County and the Illinois River valley near Peoria. With more than a decade of experience, David J. Jensen follows standards set by draft horse associations, prioritizing health screenings and genetic soundness.

Foals and adults share spacious pastures and daily handling, allowing each horse to develop a calm and cooperative temperament. The farm’s turnout paddocks and open-stall barn reflect a philosophy centered on natural movement and respectful care. Many Da-Lu horses have appeared at regional fairs and local parades, demonstrating their steady gait and strong build.

Each Percheron receives regular veterinary checkups, hoof care and a feed plan of quality hay, grains and free-choice minerals to maintain long-term soundness. The farm spans fifty acres of rolling pastures, offering shade trees and shelter for every animal. This environment and routine socialization help produce horses suited for both farm work and showing.
