David Z. Allgyer

David Z. Allgyer, Percheron horses, Platteville, Wisconsin, works in southwestern Wisconsin near Madison. He has spent several years breeding Percheron horses, registers each foal with the Percheron Horse Association, and follows its recommendations to ensure soundness and steady temperaments. His horses are raised on spacious pastures with daily handling that encourages calm behavior and strong bonds. The farm traces its history to local agriculture and offers insights into community events where their horses have earned praise for steady gaits and reliable demeanor.

All animals receive regular veterinary and farrier care, including quarterly hoof trimming, dental checks, and annual vaccinations. Nutrition is tailored to each horse’s workload with emphasis on quality forage, balanced grains, and necessary mineral supplements. Young foals are handled from birth and introduced to farm sights and sounds to build confidence. Mature horses often participate in light driving and farm tasks, demonstrating the breed’s strength and gentle nature.
