John Engelbrecht

John Engelbrecht and Stacy Engelbrecht are Percheron horse breeders in Cheyenne Wells, CO, eastern Colorado near Denver. They follow standard registry practices and ensure all breeding stock receives routine health screenings as recommended for strength and soundness.

Their horses are raised in open pastures with daily handling to encourage calm temperament and ease of training. The farm environment emphasizes social turnout and stall rest during harsh weather, reflecting a balanced approach to husbandry. Foals receive early ground-driving lessons and exposure to diverse footing to build confidence before weaning.

A multigenerational cattle ranch sets the stage for these draft horses to develop solid work ethics through occasional light farm duties. Clients note the horses’ steady gaits and gentle nature in trail rides or carriage driving, underscoring a consistent focus on versatility and well-being. Seasonal rotations include access to fodder crops in winter for ongoing conditioning.
