John Wuthrich Iii

John Wuthrich Iii is a Percheron breeder in Rome, NY, in the Mohawk Valley near Utica. With more than two decades of experience and membership in the American Percheron Horse Association, his breeding program emphasizes sound conformation and a calm disposition.

He raises his Percheron foals in a pasture-based setup that mirrors traditional farm life and allows young horses to socialize within a close-knit group. Stallions, mares and foals live under the same care routine and follow a natural feeding schedule that includes forage, balanced grains and seasonal supplements. Yearly veterinary exams include bloodwork and deworming protocols to support robust immune systems.

A long family tradition at the same farm inspires steady attention to hoof and joint health, with all adults undergoing regular orthopedic evaluations. His approach has earned praise for producing capable draft animals suited to light farm work, carriage driving or recreational riding.
