Dean Bontrager and Mandy Bontrager are Percheron horse breeders in Wolcottville, Indiana, serving northeast Indiana near Fort Wayne. They have been guiding their program through careful selection of sound bloodlines and maintain membership in recognized draft horse associations for clarity in breed standards.

Foals grow up on open pastures with daily handling that helps shape steady temperaments and early readiness for farm work. Their stable facilities include spacious stalls and access to turnout areas designed for gentle exercise. Visitors often note the horses’ balanced demeanor and willingness to carry riders or assist with light draft tasks around the farm.

With a commitment to maintaining traditional draft qualities and nurturing strong, reliable individuals, they offer prospects that fit both work and pleasure pursuits. All breeding stock undergoes regular veterinary health testing including joint, cardiac, and metabolic screenings. Their participation in local agricultural fairs keeps them connected to the regional community and up to date with evolving best practices.
