His stock frequently competes at county fairs and regional draft horse shows, earning ribbons for conformation and gentle disposition. Owners praise their suitability for light farm work, recreational driving, and as family companions. Jacob values transparent communication, offering regular updates and guided farm visits so owners can learn about Percheron care. Seasonal pasture rotation and supplemental feeding ensure horses maintain conditioning through Ohio’s variable seasons.
