Ward Burkholder

Ward Burkholder is a Percheron breeder in Bremen, IN, serving Marshall County and the South Bend area. With over a decade of experience and active membership in the American Farm Horse Association, his breeding program emphasizes careful health screening and sound conformation. Foals are raised in pasture-based herds with daily turnout and early handling to build confidence and strong bonds with people.

Horses from this farm often excel in draft competitions and have been praised for their steady temperament in light farm work. Clients note their consistent quality and gentle nature, reflecting a commitment to traditional husbandry practices. The farm’s century-old barn provides ample shelter during colder months, and herds receive a balanced diet of locally sourced hay and grains.

Ward also welcomes prospective owners to observe regular health checks and temperament tests in a relaxed farm environment. Family involvement ensures each animal receives attentive care, from routine farrier visits to seasonal dental exams.
