David C. Christner

David C. Christner is a Percheron horse breeder based in Geneva, IN, in northeast Indiana near Fort Wayne. Since launching his breeding program, he has prioritized sound conformation and temperament, with regular health screenings and lineage verification through recognized registries.

Horses are raised on tended pastures and housed in well-ventilated barns, where daily turnout and hands-on care become part of their routine. Young stock receives early socialization and groundwork to build confidence and prepare for driving or farm work. The farm’s farmstead dates back several generations, offering a calm, familiar environment that reflects a long-standing equestrian heritage. Several of his Percheron mares have participated in local draft horse exhibitions, illustrating their versatility in both farm work and community parades. Feed is formulated to support solid bone development and maintain energy levels suited to draft work. Their property includes over twenty fenced acres, blending pasture with shaded areas near a creek.
