Donald Hackleman

Donald Hackleman breeds Percheron horses in Anderson, IN, Madison County and the eastern Indiana region near Indianapolis. He has been developing his program for years and works with national horse associations to verify pedigree and registry requirements. Routine veterinary evaluations, farrier care and early handling promote health and balanced temperaments from foal through adulthood.

His facility features spacious pastures, sheltered run-ins and year-round turnout to support natural behavior and solid bone development. Several of his Percheron horses have performed in local draft horse shows, illustrating their strength and steady disposition. Visitors note the farm’s relaxed atmosphere and the horses’ willingness to interact during daily grooming and exercise. Hackleman applies a consistent feeding and conditioning regimen that emphasizes forage quality and gradual muscle development. Mares and foals live together in tight-knit family groups year-round to foster social bonds and reduce stress.
