Alan Hershberger

Alan Hershberger is a Percheron horse breeder based in Fredericksburg, Ohio, northeast Ohio near Cleveland. He follows the breeding standards of the Percheron Horse Association, ensuring each foal is health-screened and raised according to best practices.

His rotation of pasture turnout and early handling helps youngsters develop strong bones and calm temperaments, reflecting a focus on both physical and mental well-being. Their facility includes spacious paddocks and access to forage throughout the year, allowing horses to thrive in a natural setting. Young horses from the farm have placed in regional draft horse shows and proved their aptitude for light farm work and parades.

Many of these Percherons transition smoothly into driving or pleasure riding roles, and clients often note Hershberger’s consistent communication and the horses’ willing dispositions. The farm’s location offers easy access to veterinarians and farriers experienced in draft breeds. Horses leave the farm accustomed to regular grooming and light training to set a smooth path for new owners.
