Daryl Jay Miller

Daryl Jay Miller breeds percherons in Shipshewana, Indiana, and serves LaGrange County and the Michiana region near South Bend. He brings more than fifteen years of experience, participates in national draft horse associations and adheres to established health testing and veterinary protocols. Horses are raised on pasture with access to open shelters, and foals begin daily handlers’ introductions and groundwork exercises within weeks of birth. The farm operates as a small, family-run homestead rooted in traditional draft practices that emphasize durability and calm dispositions.

Each year Daryl tracks growth and movement through detailed records, ensuring prospective owners see conformation and temperament reports. Visitor feedback often highlights the gentle nature and steady responsiveness of younger percherons during on-site evaluations. Foals receive early exposure to light harness work to foster confidence and prepare them for future farm or driving duties. Breeding choices focus on sound structure, natural movement and longevity, reflecting a commitment to horses that stay healthy and adaptable.
