Jerold Schlabach

Jerold Schlabach is a family-run Percheron horse breeder in Sullivan, IL, in central Illinois near Champaign. He follows recommended health screening protocols, performance and temperament assessments, and maintains membership in national draft horse associations to support responsible breeding. All horses undergo regular veterinary checkups and breeding evaluations. Foals are introduced to basic handling and exposure to varied environments early, ensuring a smooth transition into working or breeding homes.

The Schlabach farm raises horses on open pasture with daily handling, social turnout, and age-appropriate training to promote calm temperaments and adaptability to farm or trail work. A spacious barn and fenced paddocks allow free movement and regular hoof care by a certified farrier. One owner noted the animals’ gentle nature and robust health as hallmarks of his program. His commitment to traditional husbandry and transparent communication with buyers underpins each partnership.
