Samuel L. Eicher

Samuel L. Eicher is a Percheron breeder on a farm in Quincy, MI, Branch County and southwestern Michigan near Kalamazoo. He follows recognized standards and works with a local veterinarian to ensure sound conformation and good temperament. His mares and stallions undergo regular health screenings and maintain detailed records for performance and bloodlines.

Each foal receives attentive care from birth through weaning, with a focus on balanced nutrition and early handling. Horses live in a pasture-based herd environment with access to open fields, sheltered areas, and daily handling to promote calm and responsive temperaments. Training emphasizes gentle groundwork, early exposure to harness equipment, and light harness work suitable for farm or carriage tasks.

Many of their horses participate in community events, introducing visitors to draft horse heritage. The family-owned farm fosters a community connection around breed preservation and emphasizes shared traditions.
