Dennis Schrage

Dennis Schrage and Sharon Schrage, Percheron breeders in Cresco, Iowa, are based in Howard County and Northeast Iowa near Waterloo. They have been developing high-quality Percheron horses for more than a decade, hold membership in the American Percheron Horse Association and follow comprehensive health screening protocols. They operate from a family farm established in the early 1900s, where each horse lineage is traced through detailed records.

Their horses are raised on open pasture with daily turnout and regular handling to foster calm dispositions and strong work ethic. The farm blends traditional draft horse training with gentle groundwork to prepare horses for both pulling and show ring environments.

Recent foal crops have earned mentions at state fairs and county events for their balanced conformation and steady temperament. Visitors note the barn’s well-maintained stalls and the breeders’ approachable knowledge on Percheron heritage and care.
