Jacob A. Weaver

Jacob A. Weaver, Percheron horse breeder in Fredericksburg, Ohio, works out of western Ohio near Dayton. He has been developing well-muscled Percheron stock for over twelve years and holds membership in the Percheron Horse Association.

All breeding stock receives annual health screenings for joints, hooves and respiratory function and participates in DNA testing when available. Horses are raised on rotating pasture with a diet adjusted for growth and work load and foals receive gentle handling from their first weeks to foster calm temperaments.

Buyers note the even stride and willingness to work in both farm and show settings. Several of his horses have earned ribbons in county fair draft horse competitions across the region. The breeding program started as a small family homestead over forty years ago. The farm features open barns and sheltered loafing areas to suit all seasons.
