Norman Howell

Norman Howell breeds Percherons in Saint Marys, OH, in Mercer County and west central Ohio near Toledo. He raises registered Percherons and follows standard health protocols, including annual veterinary evaluations to support sound development. He attends area draft horse gatherings to connect with other breeders and share best practices.

Each horse enjoys daily turnout on open pasture and early handling encourages calm, confident temperaments. Howell's approach blends traditional farm practices with attentive care, producing horses well suited for both farm work and pleasure driving. The farm's gently rolling paddocks and sturdy shelters allow Percherons to graze and rest comfortably, promoting strong hooves and muscle development. Foals are introduced to halters and human interaction from birth, helping them adapt smoothly to future harness work. Several foals have gone on to small farms and therapeutic riding programs across the Midwest, prized for their reliable disposition.
