Mervin Hershberger

Mervin Hershberger, Percheron horses, Remus, MI, is located in Mecosta County and the Central Michigan region near Mount Pleasant. Hershberger has bred these draft horses for over 20 years and maintains club memberships with recognized equine associations such as the Percheron Horse Association. Each foal receives a comprehensive health plan including regular farrier visits and pathogen screening to ensure well-rounded development.

Adults rotate through pasture systems and have free-choice hay feeding to support strong bone structure and year-round conditioning. Animals live on pasture-rich paddocks alongside aged barns that have been in the family since the 1940s, with daily handling for consistent socialization. The farm’s lineage traces back three generations of local agriculture, grounding the operation in a long-standing tradition of land stewardship. Many of the horses have excelled in local pulling events and a few have gone on to support therapeutic riding programs across Michigan.
