Joshua Hunter

Joshua Hunter breeds Percheron horses in Howell, MI, serving southeast Michigan near Detroit. He has over a decade of experience and is a member of the American Percheron Horse Association, following health testing and registry standards. His family-run farm blends traditional care with modern best practices to support long-term soundness.

His Percherons are raised on spacious pastures with daily turnout, early handling and rotational grazing to promote strong bones and calm temperaments. They receive a diet balanced for draft breeds, with high-quality forage, supplemental minerals and regular hoof and dental care. The foals are socialized from birth, interacting with handlers, other horses and on-farm livestock to build confidence. The farm emphasizes sound conformation and balanced work ability, producing horses suited for farm tasks, carriage driving and driving competitions. Regular participation in local equestrian events helps familiarize the horses with different environments.
