Ezra Wengerd

Ezra Wengerd raises Percheron horses in Gambier, OH, in Knox County and north central Ohio near Columbus. Wengerd has bred heavy horses for over two decades with membership in the national Percheron Horse Association and ongoing health monitoring including routine farrier and veterinary evaluations. The horses live in pasture-based paddocks, enjoy daily handling from weaning, regular exposure to farm sights and sounds, and turnout with peers for social bonding. Ezra maintains a small herd focused on sound structure and calm temperaments that adapt well to draft, driving or farm work.

Visitors describe a relaxed, friendly atmosphere and note the meticulous grooming and clean stables. This farm combines traditional draft-horse heritage with a focus on positive reinforcement and steady socialization. Each foal receives early handling and basic desensitization training to encourage confident development. Feed and bedding sources are selected for quality, reflecting Ezra’s hands-on approach to daily husbandry.
