Shem Hostetler

Shem Hostetler is a Percheron horse breeder in Aaronsburg, PA, serving Centre County and central Pennsylvania near State College. He has been breeding Percheron horses for more than a decade and participates in national registry programs with regular health testing for soundness and longevity.

His Percheron horses are raised on spacious pastures with daily turnout, early handling and individual attention that promote a calm temperament. He blends traditional draft horse training with natural horsemanship techniques and has shown horses at regional draft horse exhibitions. Clients note the horses’ steady disposition, eagerness to learn and solid bone structure.

The farm’s rolling pastures and well-ventilated barns offer shelter throughout the seasons, while routine farrier and veterinary care supports overall health and performance. Broodmares and stallions graze together in communal paddocks, encouraging natural herd dynamics and reinforcing social bonds. Foals receive early hoof care and dental evaluations, paired with balanced forage programs and seasonal pasture rotation to support steady growth.
