Steven Duchac

Steven Duchac and Katherine Duchac are Percheron breeders in Glenville, NC, Jackson County and western North Carolina near Asheville. They have been involved with Percheron horses for over ten years, maintain registration with the national draft horse association, and uphold regular veterinary evaluations along with soundness assessments for each breeding prospect. Their horses live on well-drained pastures with shelter access and participate in daily handling routines that range from grooming to gentle ground-work, promoting a calm temperament and cooperative behavior.

They regularly showcase their draft horses at local plowing matches and community fairs, offering visitors a chance to observe the Percheron’s strength and reliable demeanor in practical demonstrations. Visitors often note the breeding program’s consistent focus on conformation and a patient disposition that makes these horses suitable for both farm work and family environments. Each foal remains with its dam through a gradual weaning process, then benefits from supervised introductions to farm machinery, harness work, and varied trail environments.
