Ervin R.S. Schwartz

Ervin R.S. Schwartz breeds Percheron horses in Berne, IN, Adams County and the eastern Indiana area near Fort Wayne. He has been involved in Percheron breeding for many years, holds membership in recognized draft horse registries, and participates in ongoing breeder education programs. His barn features spacious stalls with soft bedding, daily turnout in well-maintained paddocks, and regular handling to ensure calm, well-socialized animals from foal to adult.

Foals are gentle-started under experienced care and learn basic ground manners before weaning, reflecting his emphasis on early development. Members of his herd have competed at regional shows, served in community parades, and provided draft demonstrations at agricultural events. Raised on a family farm that dates back generations, he emphasizes gentle training methods and balance of strength and soundness in each horse. Schwartz follows recommended health protocols, including regular veterinary exams, routine vaccinations, and appropriate farriery, while consulting equine nutritionists to tailor feed rations.
