Jared Lesch

Jared Lesch, Percheron horses, Lakefield, MN, is nestled in southern Minnesota near Rochester.

As a member of the American Percheron Society and the Minnesota Horse Breeders Council, Lesch works closely with regional associations to ensure adherence to breed standards. Each horse receives routine health screenings and regular farrier care while growing up in pasture-based paddocks that encourage natural movement and strong bone development. Foals join a gentle socialization program from weaning, building trust with handlers and introducing them to basic driving harness.

The farm’s barns and shelters are designed to protect against harsh winters while allowing fresh air circulation during warmer months. Over the past decade, Lesch’s stable has supplied animals to family farms, therapeutic riding centers, and local carriage demonstrations. A mix of rich prairie soil and rolling hills on the property supports balanced nutrition in forage, helping young horses develop muscle tone and sound hooves.
