Lester D. Hershberger

Lester D. Hershberger is a Percheron breeder in Dundee, OH, Williams County and northwest Ohio near Toledo. He has been raising Percherons for over fifteen years and holds membership in the American Percheron Horse Association, adhering to breed standards and routine health screening, including annual veterinary exams, vaccinations and soundness evaluations.

His Percherons live on rolling pastures and have access to shaded barns, receiving balanced hay and grain rations, regular farrier visits and seasonal worming to maintain optimal health year-round. Foals are handled gently from an early age during daily turnout, which helps develop their coordination and steady temperaments before they transition to more structured training.

Each spring brings a fresh crop of foals that join a family lineage of draft horses dating back several generations on the same property. Local owners often appreciate the Percherons’ calm nature, versatile strength and easy-going disposition, traits well suited to small-scale farming, carriage driving or therapeutic programs in the region.
