Joel W. Fussner

Joel W. Fussner is a Percheron horse breeder in Edmore, Michigan, serving the Mid-Michigan region near Lansing. He has been involved with Percheron breeding for several years and participates in the Percheron Horse Association of America, following recommended health screenings for soundness and temperament.

His horses are raised in pasture-based settings with daily turnout and consistent handling to foster calm, responsive temperaments. The family-run farm’s approach emphasizes balanced nutrition, regular and thorough farrier and veterinary care, and early socialization around children and household activities so young horses develop confidence.

Many of Fussner’s Percherons have participated in local draft horse shows and farm demonstrations, earning recognition for their steady work ethic. A recent buyer noted the horses’ gentle nature with inexperienced handlers alongside their strong bone structure and willing attitude. These qualities reflect the breeder’s careful planning of bloodlines and commitment to the traditional draft horse heritage.
