Jill Schlueter

Jill Schlueter breeds Percheron horses in Willmar, MN, serving central Minnesota near Minneapolis. She follows the Percheron Horse Association’s guidelines for health testing, including regular veterinary evaluations and hoof care.

Year-round turnout options allow horses to self-regulate their temperature through Minnesota’s changing seasons. Visitors often remark on the horses’ steady work ethic and calm demeanor, outcomes of her patient training routines. Her family-run farm has been caring for draft horses for decades, fostering a sense of tradition and respect for each animal. She provides detailed information on each horse’s lineage and helpful advice for integrating Percherons into working or leisure settings. She attends local draft horse shows to assess her horses’ conformation and receive feedback from fellow breeders.
