Robert Martell

Robert Martell, Percheron horses, Orland, IN, in northeastern Indiana near Fort Wayne. He has spent more than fifteen years breeding draft horses and holds membership with regional equine associations, while maintaining routine health evaluations, including annual vaccinations and dental exams. His horses are raised on open pastures supplemented by daily handling to promote calm temperaments and sound musculature. Stall and barn facilities are cleaned twice daily and designed to accommodate both foals and adult stock comfortably.

The farm traces its heritage back two generations, and Robert offers hands-on introductions for prospective owners to experience the breed’s strength up close. Regular farrier work, individualized feeding plans and early workmanlike training help each horse develop confidence under saddle or harness. Visitors often note the relaxed atmosphere and the consistent effort to mirror natural herd dynamics in daily turnout schedules. Plans for rotating pasture sections ensure sustainable grazing and long-term soil health.
