Marcus M. Coblentz

Marcus M. Coblentz, Percheron horses, Wilmot, Ohio, works in Tuscarawas County and the Amish country near Canton. He is a member of the Percheron Horse Association and follows recommended health testing standards to support strong, sound horses.

His horses graze on rotational pastures and receive daily handling that encourages calm temperaments and adaptability. Many of his Percheron horses have found roles in light farm work, local shows and therapeutic programs for community groups. The farm’s layout of open fields and shaded paddocks helps foals and mature horses develop natural strength and resilience on varied terrain.

Hand-breeding practices aim to preserve traditional Percheron traits, with mares and stallions selected for sturdy conformation and gentle disposition. Visitors often comment on the quiet barn aisles and spacious turnouts, reflecting the breeder’s commitment to respectful, low-stress equine care. Coblentz shares expertise during regional workshops, helping new horse owners understand draft horse behavior and care.
