Paul Jess

Paul Jess is a Percheron horse breeder in Arthur, IL, serving Douglas County and central Illinois near Champaign. With over 15 years of breeding experience, he aims to preserve the traditional draft qualities that define the Percheron horse. He adheres to breed registry standards and schedules regular health screenings with local equine veterinarians. His brood mares and young stock enjoy spacious pastures and cozy loafing sheds, and foals spend their first weeks alongside the herd to build social confidence.

Daily groundwork begins early, focusing on gentle halter training and exposure to farm equipment to foster calm, reliable horses. Many foals show aptitude for draft work, with several competing in regional pulling contests and county fairs. Owners note the Percheron’s gentle temperament and sturdy bone structure, reflecting careful selection and time-tested husbandry. Each horse benefits from a home base on well-drained pasture with access to a run-in shed for weather shelter.
