Marvin Schmucker

Marvin Schmucker is a Percheron breeder in New Haven, Indiana, serving northeastern Indiana near Fort Wayne. He has been raising draft horses for over a decade, following registry guidelines and performing routine health testing for vision and limb soundness.

Foals grow up in pasture-based environments where they learn natural herd behaviors and receive daily handling to build calm, trusting temperaments. Several of his Percherons have earned recognition in local plowing contests and farm shows for their steady disposition and strength under saddle. His breeding program prioritizes balanced conformation and sound minds, aiming to produce horses suited to both farm work and pleasure riding.

Marvin’s farm has operated on the same family-owned land since 1980, and he shares knowledge of gentle training methods with new horse owners in informal workshops. Early handling includes exposure to farrier visits and trailer loading to build confidence in common farm tasks.
