Matthew Kramer

Matthew Kramer is a Percheron horse breeder in Nappanee, IN, serving the Michiana region near South Bend. He has been breeding draft horses for over a decade and holds membership in the Percheron Horse Association, with routine health screenings, annual veterinary checks, and detailed records for each mare and foal. All horses live on open pastures with balanced feed plans, access to shady shelters, and regular farrier visits to ensure sound hooves and steady growth.

Emphasis on early handling and turnout alongside older companions supports calm temperaments and strong social bonds from the start. The farm’s barns overlook rolling fields where foals learn to lead, stand for the farrier, and cope with gentle farm equipment noise. Several Percherons from the farm have shown successfully at local draft events and some have transitioned into therapeutic riding programs, reflecting their reliable nature. Visitors often note the horses’ steady temperaments and the farm’s genuine care for each animal’s wellbeing.
