Detweiler Bros.

Detweiler Bros. raises Percheron horses in Richfield Springs, NY, Otsego County and the Central New York region near Syracuse. Detweiler Bros. is known for over two decades of breeding draft horses, holding national equine association memberships and conducting routine health checks to ensure durability and soundness. The family farm spans 75 acres of rolling fields and woodland, offering varied grazing and space for seasonal work trials.

Its Percherons live in pasture rotations and receive daily handling to foster calm temperaments and strong muscling. Barns are designed for winter comfort with heated waterers and deep straw bedding to support healthy hooves. Several horses have placed in regional draft horse competitions, reflecting the farm’s emphasis on balanced conformation and steady minds. Regular farrier visits and feed plans are tailored in consultation with an equine nutritionist. Foals are introduced to gentle groundwork from weaning and share fields with mature mares and geldings to encourage natural herd behavior.
