Stephen Stoltzfus

Stephen Stoltzfus, a Percheron breeder in Fountain City, IN, raises sturdy draft horses in southeastern Indiana near Cincinnati. He has worked with Percheron bloodlines for more than fifteen years, holds membership in the American Percheron Horse Association and schedules regular veterinary and farrier visits.

His mares and foals graze rotating pastures with shelter and receive daily handling during morning turnout and evening checks to nurture confidence and calm temperaments. Breeding goals balance strength and steady temperament for farm work, pleasure driving and light draft performance. Strategic nutrition plans support healthy growth while foals learn basic harness work under gentle guidance. Each horse undergoes conformation and soundness evaluation before placement in working, show or leisure settings.

Clients appreciate the horses’ reliable performance across farm tasks and community events. The stable’s design ensures easy access to feed and water throughout the day, supporting consistent care.
