John Stoltzfus

John Stoltzfus breeds Percheron horses in Lancaster, PA, serving Lancaster County and the Susquehanna Valley near Harrisburg. He has been breeding Percheron horses for more than a decade and maintains membership in the national draft horse association, adhering to established health screening for sound structure.

His herd grazes year-round on spacious pastures and receives daily grooming and handling from all ages on the farm to build trust and a steady temperament. Foals are introduced to basic ground-driving exercises early to encourage responsiveness and ease future training for light driving or draft demonstration work. The horses grow up alongside other livestock on his family’s homestead, reflecting a hands-on approach to husbandry. Many of the younger Percherons have shown promising movement at regional draft horse shows, while older animals continue to serve as reliable farm companions. Visitors often note the horses’ calm disposition and solid bone structure, hallmarks of consistent care and breeding focus.
