Mahlon Schmucker

Mahlon Schmucker raises Percheron horses in Woodburn, IN, in northeast Indiana near Fort Wayne. He has spent many years breeding Percherons and maintains American Percheron Horse Association membership with all stock registered and routinely health tested for soundness and genetic conditions. Each foal is nurtured in open pasture and receives daily handling from an early age to promote a calm, adaptable temperament.

Stalls are spacious and well-ventilated, and turnout schedules reflect seasonal pasture cycles that support natural hoof and muscle development. Mahlon’s farmstead balances practical farm heritage with selective breeding for strong bone structure and reliable work ethic. Clients note his thoughtful guidance on training basics and appreciate the steady, friendly character of his Percherons.

Several of his mares have produced foals with top placings at regional draft horse shows. Winter care includes heated stalls and routine hoof trimming to ensure comfort and mobility through colder months.
