Glen Bontrager

Glen Bontrager breeds Percheron horses in Topeka, IN, LaGrange County and northeastern Indiana near Fort Wayne. He applies industry-standard health screenings and conformation checks to ensure balanced development and soundness before placing breeding stock.

Foals grow up in pasture-based herds with daily gentle handling and gradual introduction to halter and harness work for early socialization. Attention to balanced nutrition and turnout supports strong bone and muscle growth typical of draft breeds. Owners often comment on the horses’ calm temperaments, well-suited to both light farm tasks and family-oriented environments. Supportive resources on basic care practices are shared with new owners to promote long-term well-being and successful partnerships.

The farm’s layout blends open fields with sheltered loafing barns and feed stations to accommodate seasonal changes and variable weather, ensuring year-round comfort. Regular farrier and dental care is scheduled to support performance and wellness across all ages.
