Stephen Stoltzfus

Stephen Stoltzfus breeds Percherons in Centre Hall, PA, in Penns Valley near State College. He has been involved with the breed for many years and follows recommended health screening protocols, working closely with a local veterinarian to monitor their well-being.

His Percheron horses are raised in a family-oriented farm setting with access to rotational pastures and sheltered loafing areas, and foals receive daily handling from birth. The farm’s focus on early socialization includes exposure to light draft work simulations and calm interactions that build trust and confidence. Owners appreciate the horses’ steady temperaments and adaptability for both farm chores and driving applications.

Stoltzfus keeps detailed records of each horse’s lineage, performance history, and health screenings, ensuring transparency at every stage. Young horses move through a gradual training process that balances groundwork with pasture time, promoting both physical strength and mental calm.
