John E Stoltzfus Jr

John E Stoltzfus Jr is a Percheron breeder in Fort Plain, NY, serving Montgomery County and the Mohawk Valley near Utica. With more than 25 years of careful selection and active membership in the Percheron Horse Association, he follows health testing and genetic screening to support sturdy conformation and gentle dispositions.

Foals grow up on rolling pastures with regular handling and early exposure to groundwork, fostering a calm temperament and solid foundation for driving or farm work. Stallions and mares enjoy weather-resistant shelters, spacious stalls with natural light, and a feeding program rich in hay and balanced grains to sustain strong bone and muscle development.

His yearlings often appear at regional draft horse shows and county fairs, where several have placed in halter classes and earned praise for steady movement. Longtime owners appreciate his transparent approach to barn tours, detailed health records, and ongoing advice on training and nutrition. A commitment to low-stress handling and pasture rotation reflects a belief that happy, well-cared-for Percheron horses thrive both in performance and in companionship.
