Gingerich Farms

Gingerich Farms is a Percheron horse breeder in Loudonville, OH, serving Ashland County and the Mohican Valley near Mansfield. They maintain registered Percheron stock with annual health screenings, traceable breeding records, and hold memberships in multiple regional draft horse associations. Their horses are raised on open pasture year-round and introduced to a regimen of basic ground training before joining the broodmare band. Foals spend early weeks alongside older horses and are introduced to handled feeding and gentle lead training before their first winter.

Their approach combines traditional husbandry practices with gradual socialization in small herd groups. Local trainers note the horses’ calm disposition and sturdy build, qualities suited to light farm work and leisure riding. The facility offers spacious runs with shelter and ample turnout, supporting each horse’s physical comfort. Regular turnout and reliable access to forage support strong musculoskeletal development and balanced temperaments.
