Leroy Gehman

Leroy Gehman raises Percheron horses in Fort Plain, NY, in the Mohawk Valley near Utica. He has been breeding since 2005 and holds membership in the American Percheron Horse Association, with all stock tested for common genetic conditions and annual comprehensive health panels. Foals are raised in open pastures with daily handling, allowing early exposure to farm machinery and calm mare guidance.

The farm’s heritage oak barn offers a sheltered turnout with seasonal access to sunlit paddocks and reflects a multi-generation commitment to draft horse traditions. Their mares have produced foals exhibited in regional and local draft horse shows. A recent visitor noted appreciation for the herd’s calm disposition and sound structure. He maintains regular veterinary oversight and balanced nutrition plans to support each horse’s well-being. Breeding stock undergoes farrier checks, regular vaccinations, and dental evaluations as part of routine care.
