Mike S. Jaeger

Mike S. Jaeger and Tricia G. Jaeger are Percheron breeders in Charles City, IA, northeast Iowa near Cedar Rapids.

They maintain membership in national draft horse registries and follow established health testing, including annual veterinary exams and routine farrier care. Their Percheron horses live in stall-and-pasture systems with daily turnout and early handling to promote steady temperaments. Each foal receives individual nutritional monitoring and gradual introduction to groundwork before weaning.

On the family-run farm, they balance traditional broodmare management with modern sanitation standards. On-site visits are available on the farm to observe mares and youngstock, providing insight into each horse’s readiness. Visitors frequently remark on the horses’ calm nature and solid conformation, reflecting the breeders’ careful selection. They follow a thorough selection process reviewing conformation, movement, and temperament, and all horses leave with complete registration papers and detailed current health records.
