James Zehr

James Zehr, Percheron horse breeder in Auburn, Indiana, serves DeKalb County and the northeast Indiana near Fort Wayne. He has been breeding Percheron horses for over ten years and is a member of the Percheron Horse Association.

All breeding stock undergoes regular veterinary evaluations, including fertility and lameness assessments. His horses are raised at a family-owned farm with daily pasture access, early handling to build trust, and widely spaced shelter barns that help them adapt to seasonal changes. Foals receive regular farrier care and a balanced diet of local grains and forage to support growth and sound hoof development.

Several of his Percherons have participated in regional draft horse shows and driving demonstrations under experienced handlers. The farm’s rolling pastures allow young horses to develop strength and coordination before breaking. Customers often remark on the steady disposition and sound conformation of the foals.
