Michael Schmucker

Michael Schmucker breeds Percheron horses in New Haven, IN, and works throughout northeast Indiana near Fort Wayne. He has been breeding Percheron horses for several years and is a member of the American Percheron Horse Association, with all breeding stock undergoing regular health screenings. His horses are raised on pasture and receive daily handling and socialization with family members and other livestock, supporting calm temperaments.

Clients often comment on the gentle nature of the registered Percherons and their suitability for both farm work and parade exhibitions. The Schmucker farm’s focus on balanced conformation and sound movement reflects a commitment to long-term well-being. Careful selection of bloodlines aims to maintain the breed’s strength and character for generations to come. Natural hoof care and rotational grazing are part of the farm’s routine, and each foal benefits from gentle ground training before weaning. Regular hoof trimming and farrier visits are scheduled to support healthy growth and sound movement.
