Melvin P. Fisher

Melvin P. Fisher is a Percheron breeder in Fountain City, IN, in Wayne County near Richmond. He has over a decade of experience working with draft horses, holds membership in the American Percheron Horsemen’s Association, and conducts regular health screenings for mares and foals.

His horses are raised on pasture with daily turnout and introduced to gentle handling from an early age. The farm includes well-drained paddocks, sturdy shelter sheds, and an indoor arena for year-round conditioning. Foals grow up alongside other livestock to build confidence and social skills, and training emphasizes calm leadership and light harness work. Each horse undergoes routine farrier visits and nutritional evaluations to support optimal growth. His breeding program reflects a family tradition dating back to mid-century farm life, blending performance and temperament. One owner has praised the solid build and even temper of their young Percheron colt.
