Joseph M. Coblentz

Joseph M. Coblentz, Percheron horses, Wilmot, OH, is rooted in family breeding on a small farm. It lies in Stark County near Canton in northeast Ohio.

He has spent more than fifteen years developing bloodlines through selective pairing, performing systematic conformation assessments, and participates in national registry programs. He holds membership in the American Percheron Horse Association, and each foal is registered with the national breed registry upon weaning and microchipped for permanent identification. Each foal receives regular veterinary health checks with an emphasis on bone and joint evaluations, and undergoes routine dental and respiratory screenings.

Coblentz’s Percherons graze in open pastures and enjoy daily handling to build calm temperaments, supported by a rotational grazing system to preserve forage quality. Foals are introduced early to farm life and gentle groundwork, including daily exposure to basic leading and farm machinery sounds. His horses have been featured at county fair exhibitions and support draft demonstrations in the region, reflecting their steady dispositions and versatility.
