James Spangler

James Spangler, Percheron breeder in Ohio, cares for these horses in northeast Ohio and near Cleveland. He has bred Percheron draft horses for more than a decade and holds membership in the American Percheron Horse Association, with annual health screenings, vaccinations and regular farrier visits. The horses roam rotational paddocks and receive daily handling to foster socialization with both people and other herd members.

A lifelong horseman, Spangler prioritizes sound hoof and joint health through balanced feeding programs and early groundwork. Many horses from his farm have gone on to draft pulls and therapy programs, admired for their steady disposition and strength. Clients often mention his patient, transparent communication and the thorough care he provides, including detailed guidance on harness fitting and conditioning. Whether for recreational driving or small-scale farming, buyers find the horses well prepared and responsive under saddle or in harness.
