Timothy M. Schmucker

Timothy M. Schmucker is a breeder of Percheron horses in Harlan, IN, Spencer County and the Wabash Valley near Evansville. He maintains breeding stock that undergoes routine veterinary evaluations and complies with established Percheron standards. Foals are raised on open pasture with daily turnout and gentle handling to encourage steady development and calm temperaments.

Balanced nutrition comes from forage-rich pastures and measured grain rations tailored to support growth and stamina. This approach reflects a respect for draft horse tradition while addressing contemporary breeding priorities for soundness and versatility. Owners note the animals’ strength and even temperaments when working on farm chores or in driving demonstrations. Routine hoof trimming, dental care and early socialization with family members are part of daily and seasonal routines to keep each foal healthy and confident. Bloodlines emphasize a balance of strength and refinement suited to farm work, display and recreational driving, with regular presence at local fairs for community connection.
