Juanita Farmer Burnside and Crystal Lawson, Percheron horse breeders in Eaton, OH, serve Preble County and the Dayton area. They have bred Percheron horses for over 20 years and maintain memberships in the American Percheron Horse Association, with routine health screenings for each foal. Their breeding program emphasizes gentle handling and daily turnout in pasture-based settings, allowing young horses to develop strong social bonds and physical stamina.

Past foals have excelled in local draft and driving competitions, reflecting a commitment to balanced temperament and conformation. The farm’s heritage barn dates back three generations, providing a calm environment where mares and foals receive individual attention from experienced handlers. Visitors often comment on the farm’s relaxed atmosphere and the handlers’ willingness to share insights into equine behavior and long-term care. Each foal undergoes early farrier work and basic ground manners training before leaving the farm.
