David Jason Smith

David Jason Smith, Percheron breeder in Heath, OH, serves Licking County and the central Ohio area near Columbus. He has dedicated more than fifteen years to draft horse breeding, holds memberships in national draft horse organizations and the American Percheron Horse Association, and maintains annual health screenings for every mare and stallion. His Percherons grow up in pasture-based herds with daily hands-on handling to ensure calm and cooperative temperaments.

All horses have year-round turnout, access to run-in shelters and seasonal farrier care. Nutritional plans rely on locally sourced forage, balanced grains and regular mineral testing to support sound musculoskeletal development. Horses from his farm have placed in local driving and showing events, reflecting his focus on balanced conformation and efficient movement under harness. David also provides new owners with guidance on training methods and everyday care, and many visitors note his approachable style and the horses’ steady, willing nature.
