Amanda Manges

Amanda Manges and Erik Manges are Percheron horse breeders in Sullivan, Ohio, serving Ashland County and central Ohio near Columbus. They have worked with draft horses for more than ten years and follow breed association guidelines for health testing all breeding stock.

Their mares and foals live in a pasture-based system with daily turnout and access to shelter. Foals benefit from early handling, socialization with resident animals, and a diet balanced for growth, while seasonal hoof care is provided by a local farrier. Handlers maintain small group sizes so each horse receives individual attention and builds confidence during early training.

The farm focuses on preserving the Percheron’s gentle strength and versatility in both draft and pleasure riding. Yearling evaluations assess conformation, temperament, and readiness for draft or riding roles. Prospective owners frequently comment on the horses’ calm temperaments and sturdy build, reflecting their commitment to careful breeding.
