James R. Detweiler

James R. Detweiler is a Percheron breeder in Middlefield, OH, Geauga County and the Cleveland area near Cleveland. He is an active member of the Percheron Horse Association, maintaining regular veterinary care, genetic evaluations, and conformation assessments for his breeding stock. His Percherons graze on rich pasture at the family farm, where daily handling of foals and mature horses builds confidence and a calm disposition. Clients often praise the steady temperament, easy trainability and solid conformation that make these horses reliable for riding, driving and occasional draft work.

His program focuses on preserving the Percheron’s classic muscle development and gentle nature, ensuring each foal meets breed standards for both form and function. Annual farrier visits, tailored nutrition plans and routine dental care support hoof health and overall well-being throughout all life stages. Spacious loafing sheds, well-maintained stalls and shaded turnout areas provide shelter during Ohio’s seasonal weather, keeping horses comfortable year-round. Visits by appointment allow review of pedigrees, discussion of performance goals and observation of daily care routines.
