Jerry S. Esh

Jerry S. Esh, Percheron breeder in Fort Plain, NY, is part of the Mohawk Valley region near Albany. He has over ten years of experience breeding draft horses and follows breed association guidelines for health testing and conformation.

His mares and foals live on open pasture with daily handling from the earliest weeks to foster trust and gentle behavior. Foals raised in his program often transition smoothly into light farm work or show driving. The farm’s paddocks and shelter provide a safe environment through all seasons, supporting social turnout and herd dynamics.

Prospective owners note the even temperaments and sturdy build of his horses, reflecting a balanced approach to welfare and heritage. Feeding follows a forage-based regimen supplemented with minerals to support steady growth and bone development. As a family-run farm with ties to local equine traditions, he values clear communication and long-term relationships.
