Elam K. Stoltzfus is a Percheron breeder in Marietta, PA, serving Lancaster County and the Susquehanna Valley near Harrisburg. He has been devoted to the breed for many years, holding memberships in regional equine associations and ensuring routine health screenings for each horse. Each foal is raised on rotating pastures with daily handling to encourage calm temperaments and early socialization. All horses live in open barns with access to turnout fields and receive balanced diets tailored to their growth stages.

This family-run operation blends traditional Amish farm practices with modern welfare standards.

Regular hoof trimming by a local farrier and annual dental checks help maintain overall well-being. Owners appreciate the gentle disposition and solid conformation that Stoltzfus’s Percherons consistently display.
