Jacob D. Schrock

Jacob D. Schrock breeds Percheron horses in Middlefield, Ohio, in Geauga County near Cleveland. He has been raising these gentle giants for over ten years, following breed registry guidelines and scheduling routine veterinary health screenings along with seasonal hoof care and dental exams.

He selects breeding pairs for conformation and soundness, drawing on diverse bloodlines to preserve classic Percheron traits. The horses enjoy daily pasture turnout, balanced nutrition, and hands-on socialization to support calm temperaments and resilience. On the farm, selective training introduces foals to harness work in open paddocks before moving to shaded stables.

A handful of Schrock’s Percherons have been showcased at regional agricultural fairs, demonstrating both their stature and steady disposition under crowds. Annual hoof trimming workshops on the farm offer a glimpse into responsible care practices and underline a commitment to education within the equestrian community. Visitors and local owners often mention the animals’ steady strength and cooperative nature, reflecting a legacy rooted in Northeast Ohio’s farming heritage.
