Dennis Schmucker

Dennis Schmucker, Percheron, New Haven, IN, Allen County and northeastern Indiana near Fort Wayne. He is a member of national equine associations, works closely with certified veterinarians and ensures each foal undergoes recommended health screenings and breed-standard evaluations.

His Percherons graze on open pastures bordered by native woods, and they spend time in barn runs during inclement weather, and paddocks are rotated weekly. Foals are introduced to handling and light work tasks early, which promotes calm temperaments. Some of his horses have earned ribbons at regional draft horse shows, reflecting solid conformation and willing attitudes. Schmucker applies rotational grazing and organic hay production to support sustainable nutrition and preserve soil health. He maintains small herd sizes to allow personalized attention and track pedigrees across multiple generations. Facility barns feature climate-controlled stalls and daily turnout ensures balanced exercise and social bonding.
