Henry J. Borntrager

Henry J. Borntrager breeds Percheron horses in Hazleton, Iowa, located in Benton County and the Cedar Rapids area. He has been raising Percheron horses for more than a decade and follows association health-testing guidelines to support long-term soundness.

The foals spend full days in pasture-based herds and receive daily handling to develop calm, reliable temperaments. Nutrition is balanced with locally sourced forage and monitored by regular farrier check-ins to promote sturdy bone and muscle growth. This hands-on approach reflects a commitment to responsible stewardship and a focus on the breed’s historic role in farm work.

Several of the horses have placed in regional draft competitions and demonstration events, showcasing thoughtful selection and steady training. Occasional farm visits give local equine enthusiasts a chance to observe handling and training routines on site. Annual health checkups and detailed breeding records help maintain transparency and support trust among new and returning owners.
