Menno E. Gingerich

Menno E. Gingerich is a Percheron breeder in Port Washington, OH, in Tuscarawas County and the Appalachian Plateau near Canton. With more than a decade of experience, he participates in Percheron Horse Association programs, supports regional stallion evaluations, and follows recommended health screenings for soundness and temperament.

His mares and stallions share a pasture-based life, with regular handling to build trust and manners from foaling through training. The farm’s roots as a family operation give visitors a sense of continuity, and several of his horses have earned regional show ribbons.

Many buyers note his straightforward communication and emphasis on fit between horse and handler. Foals grow alongside older horses, benefiting from herd dynamics before individual training. Health records are available to support transparency for buyers. Gentle temperament and solid conformation make these Percherons suited for draft events and light farm work.
