Jacob Eicher Jr

Jacob Eicher Jr breeds Percheron horses in Camden, MI, within Hillsdale County and the Irish Hills near Jackson. He maintains membership in the American Percheron Horse Association and follows recommended health testing protocols for soundness and temperament. All mares and foals pasture-rotate through timbered paddocks and open fields with access to a ventilated barn.

Each foal receives light groundwork, exposure to farm routines, and daily socialization to promote calm behavior under saddle. Nutritional plans are tailored with locally sourced hay and grains to support growth and conditioning at every life stage.

The breeding program emphasizes solid bone structure, willing attitude, and longevity for both farm work and recreational riding. Several horses from the farm have earned top ribbons at state fairs, noted for steady gaits and dependable temperaments. Visitors often remark on the farm’s quiet setting and hands-on approach to pairing each horse with suitable owners.
