Jess Thomas

Jess Thomas and Evelyn Thomas are Percheron breeders in Apple Creek, OH, serving Wayne County and the Amish country near Cleveland.

They follow established health screening protocols and register each foal with the national Percheron Horse Association to support sound breeding. The draft horses are raised on open pasture with daily handling and turnout, allowing for steady growth and familiarization with farm routines. Early introduction to harness work and gentle socialization prepares young Percheron foals for both driving and light farm tasks.

Horses from their farm have been featured at regional fairs and local exhibitions, where observers note their strong bone structure and calm temperaments. Prospective owners appreciate the farm’s open barn setup and the breeders’ willingness to share hands-on guidance through weaning and training stages. Based on a family farm established decades ago, the operation blends traditional draft horse husbandry with modern animal welfare practices.
