Gary Hostetler

Gary Hostetler is a Percheron breeder in Ligonier, IN, northeast Indiana near Fort Wayne. He has more than fifteen years of experience and holds membership in the Percheron Horse Association and local draft horse coalitions. All foals are evaluated for conformation and soundness and receive vaccinations as recommended by a trusted veterinarian.

The horses live on open pasture with access to sturdy shelters and receive daily handling to encourage a calm demeanor and reliable performance in farm work or show settings. Select breeding stock carries lineage traced through regional fair champions and gentle temperaments noted by visiting trainers. The farm’s rolling pastures and spacious paddocks provide a natural environment for growth, and careful socialization ensures each horse adapts well to both family farms and working landscapes. Visitors appreciate the quiet strength of these draft horses and often comment on their readiness for light riding, harness work or therapeutic programs.
