Frank A. Horvath Jr

Frank A. Horvath Jr and Margaret Horvath breed Percheron horses in Canton, IL, Fulton County near Peoria. They uphold the breeding standards of national Percheron associations, maintain regular veterinarian-led health screening and offer documented bloodlines dating back multiple generations.

The horses have access to broad meadows around the farm facilities, where they learn basic handling and ground manners from foalhood to instill trust in working environments. Their pasture-based approach emphasizes seasonal rotation, rich forage and sheltering paddocks that encourage natural movement and social behaviors among the herd.

The Horvaths blend traditional methods with modern welfare standards, updating stall design while preserving tools and equipment handed down through three family generations. Their involvement in regional exhibitions has highlighted the horses’ calm dispositions and sturdy conformation, earning respectful acknowledgments from fellow breeders. They also collaborate with local farriers and trainers to ensure each horse achieves balanced movement and develops strong hooves suitable for draft work.
