Foals are raised in a pasture-based setting where they learn to interact with people through gentle daily handling and time spent alongside adult horses. The farm's roots go back several generations of local horsemen, and this heritage carries into modern husbandry with spacious barns and turnout routines suited to Percheron strength and temperament.

Some of his horses have shown at regional draft horse shows, earning recognition for their balanced movement. Prospective owners appreciate the careful attention to conformation and soundness, and past customers note the calm disposition of horses bred here. Mervin maintains a small herd to ensure personalized care and consistent quality.
