Michael J. Rowe

Michael J. Rowe is a Percheron horse breeder in Bellevue, OH, Erie County and northwest Ohio near Toledo. He has years of experience raising draft horses and maintains membership in the Percheron Horse Association, with routine veterinary screenings and farrier visits to support breed soundness. Foals grow up on rotational grass paddocks and are introduced to halter and lead handling within days of birth to foster confidence and responsiveness.

Adult horses are engaged in light draft demonstrations at local farms and community events, where their steady disposition draws praise from handlers. The farm’s combination of spacious stalls, heated barn aisles in winter, and open-air shelters in warmer months reflects a focus on seasonal comfort and care. Visitors appreciate the relaxed setting and practical advice offered during tours, noting clear communication and transparent animal records. A gentle temperament and sturdy build make these horses well suited for breeding programs or recreational driving.
