Karl Fry is an experienced Percheron horse breeder in Shipshewana, IN, serving LaGrange County and the Michiana region near South Bend.

Their feeding program relies on high-quality hay and pasture rotation to promote sound hoof and bone development. The horses live on open pasture with access to sheltered paddocks and receive daily handling to support calm temperaments ideal for farm work or scenic driving.
