John Terry

John Terry breeds Percheron horses in Blanchard, Michigan, serving northwestern Michigan near Traverse City. His program follows American Percheron Horse Association guidelines and includes routine health screenings for joint, respiratory, and metabolic health.

The horses graze on mixed-species pastures with daily turnout and access to run-in shelters designed for seasonal weather changes. Foals begin gentle handling at birth and enjoy regular human interaction to build confidence and adaptability in various farm tasks. Feeding protocols prioritize high-quality forage balanced with targeted supplements to support musculoskeletal development and overall vitality.

Regular engagement through groundwork and light driving preparation often earns praise for the stocky build, calm temperament, and versatile performance. Annual evaluations by a farrier and equine dentist help maintain healthy hooves and optimal dental balance. John draws on practical experience and ongoing education in equine nutrition and biomechanics to refine care strategies.
