Rooklawn

Rooklawn is a Percheron horse breeder in Butler, OH, Butler County and the Ohio River Valley near Cincinnati. Rooklawn follows established breed standards and arranges routine health screenings with licensed veterinarians, and the barn layout supports careful oversight of both mares and youngsters.

Their horses enjoy spacious paddocks edged by shaded lanes, daily turnout and hands-on handling from foalhood to maturity. The farm’s open-barn design fosters early socialization and builds lasting trust between handlers and animals, a practice rooted in traditional draft horse care.

Owner Alan W. Rook draws on his background as a farrier’s apprentice to blend farriery insights with breeding decisions. Rooklawn supports community agricultural events by sharing draft horse skills and hosting occasional stable tours for local riding clubs. With attention to calm temperament and sturdy conformation, their Percherons reflect a balanced approach between performance and gentle disposition.
