John Schmucker

John Schmucker, Percheron horse breeder in Lagrange, Indiana, serves northeast Indiana near Fort Wayne. He is a member of the American Percheron Horse Association and follows established registry guidelines with regular veterinary health testing and genetic screenings. Foals are raised on spacious pastures with daily handling from birth, fostering early socialization and trust.

His barn management balances turnout and well-bedded stalls, and young horses begin gentle harness introduction when temperament and conformation allow. Clients receive detailed lineage records and transparent insights into each horse’s training history.

The farm operates under a family-run model, drawing on generations of equine care to shape its routines around animal welfare. Prospective owners appreciate clear communication, ongoing support for conditioning, and a commitment to long-term soundness and performance. Breeding selections prioritize temperament and structural soundness, with mares and stallions regularly assessed at regional conformation shows by experienced judges.
