Leonard Beachy

Leonard Beachy breeds Percheron horses in Mio, MI, serving Oscoda County and the northeast Lower Peninsula near Alpena. He has been involved in Percheron breeding for over a decade and holds membership in national draft horse associations. The breeding program follows community standards recommended by draft horse breeders, focusing on soundness and work ethic.

Each horse is raised on a family-run farm where daily turnout, close handling, and social barn routines foster a calm temperament. Foals stay with their dams in open pastures and learn groundwork steadily before any hitch work. Stalls are spacious with straw bedding, and horses have access to turnout paddocks year-round. Routine farrier visits, regular hoof trimming, and veterinary screenings support long-term health, and conformation assessments keep the focus on structural soundness. Visitors often note the horses’ steady nature and even-keel demeanor during barn tours and local county shows.
