Matthew Eicher is a Percheron breeder in Quincy, MI, raising draft horses in Branch County and southwestern Michigan near Battle Creek. He has more than a decade of specialized breeding experience and follows national registry guidelines, ensuring soundness through regular veterinary care, including annual Coggins testing and vaccinations.

Each mare and foal enjoys pasture turnout and careful nutritional management, with daily handling to foster calm temperaments and early socialization. All horses live in family-owned pastures with open shelters and follow rotational grazing to support overall health. His breeding philosophy values temperament as much as conformation, aiming for animals that become gentle partners and capable workers. The farm blends traditional draft horse training with gentle groundwork, focusing on lineages that combine strength with steady behavior.

Many of his mares consistently produce foals suited to farm work, hitching, and family-friendly carriage rides. Clients appreciate the detailed health records and regular updates on foal development, noting how well these horses adapt to varied environments.
