Joseph A. Hershberger

Joseph A. Hershberger breeds Percheron horses in Dundee, OH, serving northwest Ohio near Toledo. With more than a decade of experience and membership in the American Percheron Association, he maintains rigorous health testing and breeding standards.

His horses graze on rolling pastures with daily turnout and personalized handling from foal stage to maturity, fostering steady and gentle temperaments. The farm’s roots date back to mid-century family operations, and several Percherons have earned accolades at regional draft horse pulls. Customers often note the mares’ calm demeanour and the gentle nature of the geldings during public demonstrations.

Prospective owners will find a thoughtful approach to matching horses with suitable homes and ongoing support for care and training needs. Foals are introduced early to positive handling and gradually exposed to farm machinery sounds, building trust and confidence. Spacious stalls with straw bedding and an indoor arena support comfort and training throughout the year.
