Abe Keim

Abe Keim and Fred Chettle are Percheron horse breeders in Wellsville, Ohio, on the Appalachian Plateau near Youngstown. They have been breeding Percheron horses for over a decade, with active membership in national and regional Percheron associations and routine health testing to support soundness and temperament. Their horses are raised on open pastures and in well-ventilated barns, receiving daily handling and socialization to foster calm, reliable partners for work or pleasure.

They maintain detailed studbooks and produce foals suited to driving, farm tasks, or recreational riding, with several offspring registered in performance records. Home visits and honest discussions about care routines are common, reflecting their straightforward approach. Buyers often note the consistency of gentle manners and sturdy builds in every colt and filly they raise. Prospective owners appreciate their transparent communication about lineage and health screening results, as well as flexible farm visits.
