Steven Mueller and Apryl Mueller raise Percherons in Spring Grove, IL, serving Northern Illinois and the Chicago area. They have over a decade of experience as members of the American Percheron Horse Association, following recommended health testing and comprehensive veterinary care.

The farm’s Percherons spend days on well-managed pastures with access to year-round shelter and individual stalls for rest. Early socialization and hands-on handling foster calm, reliable temperaments suited to family farms or light draft work. Each horse receives tailored nutritional plans, regular farrier attention and dental checkups to support lifelong soundness.

Rooted in a multigenerational farmstead, their breeding program balances careful evaluation of bloodlines with gentle handling from foaling onward. Offspring from recent spring foal crops have been praised for their steady disposition, and some mares contribute to a local therapeutic riding center, reflecting the couple’s focus on versatility and temperament.
