Jamie Stanhope

Jamie Stanhope, Percheron horse breeder in Marion, MI, Branch County and the Coldwater area, has 15 years of experience. Stanhope is a member of the American Percheron Horse Association and ensures each foal receives routine veterinary exams, nutritional counseling, and genetic health screenings. Percheron horses are raised in pasture-based settings with daily turnout, gentle handling from an early age, and regular socialization with children and other animals to encourage calm temperaments.

Stanhope’s approach blends traditional draft horse training with modern welfare standards, resulting in horses noted for a steady work ethic, balanced disposition, and adaptability to both farm chores and draft demonstrations. The barn features heated stalls for foaling season, shaded paddocks to protect young stock during warmer months, and spacious dry lots for year-round exercise. Clients often note clear communication, detailed care guidance, and a gentle socialization process that helps Percheron horses acclimate smoothly to riding, driving, or new farm environments.
