Eric Brickell

Eric Brickell is a Percheron horse breeder in Gay, WV, serving southern West Virginia and the Ohio Valley near Huntington. With extensive experience, his breeding program emphasizes sound conformation and gentle temperament, and breeding stock undergoes regular veterinary health screenings.

He adheres to established equine care standards, ensuring each foal receives early handling, proper nutrition, and basic veterinary checks to support lifelong well-being. His Percherons are raised on rotating pastures with access to shade and shelter, and daily turnout fosters strong bones and social bonds. He takes a hands-on approach to introduce young horses to harness basics and familiar farm routines, preparing them for both draft work and community driving settings. His breeding pairs undergo health and genetic evaluations to help minimize hereditary conditions often seen in heavy horse breeds. The farm’s rolling fields include well-maintained trails and a gentle riverfront paddock used for training and desensitization work.
