Elmer Schrock

Elmer Schrock, Percheron horses, Eagle Bend, Minnesota, is a longtime breeder in central Minnesota near St. Cloud. He has more than a decade of experience and follows a veterinarian-guided health program with regular screenings for common draft horse conditions, plus adherence to registry protocols.

Foals are raised in open pastures with sheltered stalls, where regular handling introduces them to groundwork and gentle socialization from an early age. Nutritional needs are met with locally sourced hay and mineral supplements tailored to each horse’s growth stage and monitored to maintain ideal weight through seasonal changes. Mature horses live in family pasture herds and receive individualized attention that balances turnout with structured exercise.

A background in farm work gives his breeding program a focus on sound conformation and steady temperaments. Owners often highlight the Percheron horses’ calm nature and reliable trainability. Many find their animals suit both light draft tasks and recreational riding with ease.
