Ivan Lapp

Ivan Lapp, Percheron horse breeder in Mill Hall, PA in north-central Pennsylvania near Harrisburg, maintains Percheron draft horses. He has been breeding these horses for over a decade and participates in breed registry programs with regular veterinarian-supervised health testing.

His horses are raised with an emphasis on low-stress handling, living on pasture-access paddocks with plenty of turnout. Foals are socialized at weaning and receive gentle groundwork from an early age to foster trust and confidence. Mare and colt pairs share well-bedded stalls during winter months.

Many of his horses have appeared in community parades and light draft work demonstrations on his family-run farm. Visitors often note the calm disposition and sturdy conformation of the herd, and feedback highlights the consistent health that arises from balanced nutrition and regular farrier and veterinary care. A selection of yearlings, riding prospects and proven brood mares reflects his commitment to producing versatile, sound individuals for work or light farm activities.
