Larry Reisch Jr, Percheron horses, Eldon, IA, Southeastern Iowa near Burlington. He has spent more than fifteen years breeding Percheron draft horses and maintains membership in the Percheron Horse Association of America while following recommended health testing for equine soundness.

Each horse lives on a family-run farm where large pastures and varied forage support muscular development and overall well-being. Foals are handled gently from birth, gaining early exposure to haltering, leading and basic grooming to foster calm temperaments. His breeding program emphasizes sound conformation and gentle disposition, with regular veterinary checkups and farrier visits to ensure healthy hooves. Visitors are welcome by appointment to see horses at different stages and learn about draft horse history.

A reviewer noted his calm disposition in handling spirited youngsters without compromising safety. These gentle giants have found roles in light draft work, carriage driving and community events, prized for their steady strength and adaptable nature.
