Robert Detweiler

Robert Detweiler is a Percheron breeder in Richfield Springs, NY, in central New York near Utica. He has been raising draft horses for over two decades, maintaining membership in the Percheron Horse Association of America and following breed-specific standards for structure and temperament. Foals are raised in a pasture-based environment with early handling and turnout to support sound development and a calm disposition.

His approach blends traditional farm life with modern wellness checks, including regular hoof care, nutritional plans tailored to each horse and quarterly veterinary screenings. Stalls and paddocks are cleaned daily, and bedding is refreshed to maintain comfort and hygiene.

Detweiler’s foals and young horses receive gradual exposure to harness work, building confidence and ensuring readiness for riding or drafting tasks. His consistent feedback from local owners highlights friendly temperaments and reliable performance.
