Jethro M. Martin

Jethro M. Martin, Percheron breeder in Shobonier, IL, works throughout Southern Illinois near St. Louis. He follows standards set by national draft horse associations and maintains routine veterinary screenings for all breeding stock, including genetic health evaluations. His program emphasizes sound conformation, proven temperament traits, and balanced movement before breeding decisions are made.

Foals spend their first months on grassy pastures with daily turnout and gentle handling to encourage confidence. Mature horses reside in spacious stalls adjoining paddocks and receive a diet balanced with on site forage and mineral supplements. The breeding plan blends draft strength with a calm, willing disposition that handlers often note in farm work and recreational settings.

Clients appreciate the consistent health and steady nature of his Percherons at local shows and community events. Regular farrier visits and dental checkups ensure each horse remains in peak condition.
