Mose Gingerich

Mose Gingerich breeds Percheron horses in Osceola, MO, in Stoddard County and the Bootheel near Cape Girardeau. He has worked with Percheron horses for more than a decade and maintains memberships in recognized draft horse associations. All stallions and mares undergo routine veterinary screening and soundness evaluations to support long term temperament and health.

Foals grow up alongside other livestock on rolling pasture, receiving daily handling to build calm confidence. Nutrition plans emphasize pasture forage and balanced grains that support muscle development and overall well-being. The farm keeps a small broodmare herd, producing a limited number of foals each spring for buyers seeking gentle draft companions or light driving prospects. Mature horses learn harness work in gentle stages, and groundwork techniques help prepare them for farm tasks or show rings. Local buyers appreciate the even temperament and sturdy build of these horses, reflecting the careful breeding and attentive care at every stage.
