Mini Acres

Mini Acres, Percheron horses in Fredericksburg, OH, is situated in western Ohio near Dayton. Since 2004, owner Mervin E. Hostetler has combined selective breeding with American Percheron registry standards and annual veterinary soundness examinations. The herd lives on open pastures with balanced hay and grain rations, regular hoof trimming and heated water troughs in winter, all maintained to promote health and vigor.

Foals are gently introduced to farm routines from their first weeks, and basic ground manners are reinforced through daily handling to ensure a calm demeanor under saddle or at draft work. Several Mini Acres horses have won ribbons at regional plowing matches and county fairs, a nod to their steady temperaments and strong work ethic. Clients value detailed lineage information, clear communication throughout the purchase process and the farm’s commitment to lifelong support for each animal. This family-owned farm balances traditional draft horse heritage with modern husbandry techniques.
