Ron Wetter and Chris Wetter, Percheron horses, Woodman, WI, serve the Driftless Area near La Crosse. They have been breeding gentle giants for over two decades and maintain memberships with recognized draft horse associations, conducting regular health screenings focused on joint and respiratory health. Their Percherons roam spacious pastures by day and enjoy a climate-controlled barn with soft bedding during colder months, ensuring consistent well-being.

Early handling and daily turnout help foals develop steady temperaments, and groundwork starts by three months to build trust and confidence. Their family-operated farm has supplied local farms and parade teams with solid-minded horses noted for their strong conformation. Feedback from area owners often notes the horses’ calm disposition and readiness for diverse riding or driving tasks.

As a multi-generational operation, they emphasize sustainable grazing practices to protect local waterways and maintain vibrant pastureland. The century-old barns offer a quiet environment where horses form strong bonds with their handlers, setting a foundation for trusting partnerships across various equine pursuits.
