Jared Witmer

Jared Witmer, Percheron breeders in Columbia, PA in Lancaster County and the Susquehanna Valley near Harrisburg. They have refined their program over more than ten years in line with American Percheron Horse Association guidelines and conduct regular health testing for conformation and soundness.

Mares and foals share spacious pasture with daily handling to encourage calm temperaments and safe interactions. They focus on preserving strong foundation lines with balanced movement suited to both farm work and show environments. Horses are introduced to basic harness work early to build confidence and steady work ethic.

Their consistent care routines and emphasis on temperament have earned positive feedback from local partners. Feeding plans emphasize high-quality forage supplemented with minerals tailored to draft horses to support steady growth and joint health. The Witmers maintain a family-run setting where each foal receives individual attention from weaning through training.
