Lisa R. Ford

Lisa R. Ford, Percheron horses in Bolivar, OH, serving Tuscarawas County and the surrounding Ohio countryside near Canton. She has been breeding Percheron horses for more than twenty years, enrolling foals with the Percheron Horse Association and conducting regular veterinary health screenings. Her horses graze on grass-rich pastures and receive daily handling from foaling, promoting calm temperaments suited for farm work or family stables.

The farm stands on heritage pastureland where draft horses have worked alongside local farms for generations. Foals are evaluated at each stage for conformation and social temperament, reflecting Lisa’s regard for tradition and gentle disposition. Several young mares and geldings have since appeared in regional plowing exhibitions, showcasing the breed’s characteristic strength and serenity.

Her breeding stock undergoes annual hoof and muscle evaluations by a farrier and equine physiotherapist to maintain optimal soundness. Clients often note the transparent communication and thorough guidance provided throughout each horse’s early development.
