Joni Borntrager

Joni Borntrager breeds Percherons in Whittemore, Michigan, in the Mid-Michigan region near Saginaw. She has nearly fifteen years of experience and holds active membership with the Percheron Horse Association, with annual health assessments covering joint radiographs and metabolic screening.

Every horse is raised on rotational grazing pastures, with daily handling to foster confidence and adaptability. Foals receive early socialization in a herd environment and are introduced to basic ground manners before weaning. Joni emphasizes classical groundwork and progressive hitch training, preparing young horses for farm and carriage duties with gentle, consistent guidance.

Several clients note the breed’s characteristic calm temperament and powerful movement, reflecting the farm’s selection priorities. A family-run operation in its third generation, the farm combines traditional breeding practices with modern welfare standards to support long-term soundness and temperament. The barn is equipped with roomy stalls and well-drained paddocks, and a trusted local veterinarian oversees routine care, farriery, and nutritional planning.
