Shem P. Miller

Shem P. Miller is a percheron breeder in White Pigeon, MI, in southwestern Michigan near Kalamazoo. Miller is a member of the American Percheron Society and follows registry standards, including Coggins testing and annual veterinary exams. Broodmares and foals share spacious paddocks with access to pasture, and each young horse is handled daily to encourage a calm disposition.

Pairs are selected for sound conformation and balanced temperament to support long working life. Stalls are bedded with straw and cleaned every day, and paddocks include shaded shelters and reliable water sources. Miller’s family-run operation has grown slowly to maintain personal attention and preserve the percheron’s hallmark strength and steady nature.

Several horses have participated in local carriage demonstrations and farm heritage events to showcase the breed’s steady drive. New owners often remark on the attentive guidance they receive, from trailer loading tips to pasture management advice.
