Elmer A. Miller

Elmer A. Miller raises Percheron horses in Topeka, IN, north central Indiana near Fort Wayne. He has devoted many years to breeding draft horses and follows standards of the national Percheron association to support strong lineage and overall soundness.

His mares and foals are kept on rotating pasture paddocks and have access to a spacious foaling barn equipped with heated stalls. Daily handling from birth builds familiar trust, and his routine includes seasonal farrier visits, dental checks, and selective pasture management to ensure optimal health. Quality hay and balanced grains are sourced from local producers to complement pasture grazing.

His breeding focus leans toward calm, adaptable temperaments suited for both farm work and family driving. Local owners often mention his horses’ steady conformation and gentle nature, and a nearby riding instructor has praised the foals’ willing learning style. Graduates of his program have found roles in light draft competitions, therapeutic riding programs, and trail riding setups.
