Russ Vander Weerdt and Theresa Lemons are Percheron horse breeders in Lynnville, IA, in Jasper County near Des Moines.

They have been breeding Percheron horses for over 15 years and hold membership in the Percheron Horse Association of America. Each horse is screened for soundness by a licensed veterinarian and follows a conditioning program on soft footing.

This family-operated farm dates back to the mid-20th century and retains its original chestnut barn alongside modern facilities. A recent review praised their calm handling and thorough guidance on draft horse care and training plans. Offspring from their foundation stallion have earned awards in pulling competitions across regional fairs and agricultural shows. Their emphasis on temperament and adaptability ensures horses are ready for working farms or show arenas.
