John J. Beachy

John J. Beachy, Percheron horse breeder in Mediapolis, IA, serves Southeastern Iowa and the Quad Cities near Davenport. He has followed responsible breeding practices for over a decade, including health testing for common draft horse conditions and regular consultation with national Percheron associations.

Beachy raises his horses on a mixed-grass pasture, ensuring they develop strong bone and muscle. Daily handling from weaning supports calm temperaments, and foals are socialized with other livestock on the farm. All breeding stock undergoes regular farrier care and dental checks to support overall well-being and longevity. Owners appreciate his focus on sound conformation and steady dispositions valued in both work and show settings.

He regularly exhibits at county fairs and draft horse shows, where judges comment on the breed’s distinctive harness look and gentle nature. Several clients have noted that Beachy’s calm handling techniques make early training sessions more relaxed for both horse and handler.
