Delvin Gehman

Delvin Gehman is a Percheron breeder in Shobonier, IL, in Jefferson County near Mount Vernon. He registers all foals with the American Percheron Horse Association and ensures each animal undergoes routine health screenings, including veterinary exams, farrier care, and vaccinations.

Foals are raised in open pastures and introduced to gentle handling from the first week, allowing them to develop confidence alongside human companions and herd mates. The farm has been family-run for generations, and horses often gain early exposure to driving harnesses or light draft work under supervision. Prospective owners note the calm temperaments and solid conformation of these horses, reflecting a breeding program focused on soundness and temperament.

Delvin also hosts occasional farm tours for local schools, sharing knowledge about draft horse history and responsible animal care. His commitment to clear communication and individualized support helps buyers feel confident in placing a new horse in their home or program.
