Shady Creek

Shady Creek Percheron horses in New Haven, IN, serve Allen County and the northeast Indiana region near Fort Wayne. Shady Creek has been breeding Percheron horses for more than a decade and maintains up-to-date records with the American Percheron Society. All horses undergo routine health screenings, dental checks and regular farrier visits to ensure soundness and good working condition.

Timothy Schwartz raises the horses in spacious paddocks with access to fresh hay and daily turnout for stress-free development. Young colts learn ground manners and harness exposure early so they adapt smoothly to farm or carriage work. Visitors often note the gentle disposition and solid conformation that reflect careful breeding and attentive handling. Daily handling and structured turnout build confidence and foster strong bonds with handlers.

The farm’s layout includes sheltered runs, a dedicated foaling barn and scenic pastures that provide natural grazing throughout the seasons.
