Mark S. Eicher is a Percheron breeder in Quincy, MI, serving Branch County and southwest Michigan near Kalamazoo. He adheres to guidelines from the American Percheron Horse Association and oversees routine health screenings that include hoof care, joint assessments and dental checkups. His breeding stock is selected for gentle dispositions and strong conformation, reflecting years of careful selection and record-keeping.

The horses graze on open pasture with daily turnout and benefit from early handling to encourage calm temperaments at every age. The farm blends traditional draft horse training with gentle handling techniques, preparing animals for farm work, driving and therapeutic programs. Many owners remark on the horses’ reliable temperaments and solid build, noting they adapt well to both rural settings and light harness work. Young foals are introduced to halter training and grooming routines before weaning, helping them develop confidence around handlers. The farm’s quiet location and flexible seasons allow for close observation of herd dynamics throughout the year.
