John D. Wagler

John D. Wagler and Betty F. Wagler are dedicated Percheron breeders in Oswego, KS, serving Labette County and the Joplin area. They have been raising Percherons for more than a decade and support registry standards through active membership in the National Percheron Horse Association.

Their horses are raised on open pasture and receive daily handling to encourage calm temperaments and ease of training. Every animal undergoes routine veterinary evaluations, ensuring soundness for both draft work and carriage driving. Colts and fillies are socialized in mixed family herds to foster confidence and people-friendly behavior. Seasonal shelter and nutrition plans adjust to each horse’s needs, supporting steady growth in all climates.

Operating from a family farm established in the early 2000s, they blend traditional husbandry with modern welfare practices. Local riders praise their Percherons for dependable work ethic, gentle disposition, and sound conformation.
