Roy Hershberger

Roy Hershberger is a Percheron breeder in Fredericksburg, OH, serving Wayne County and the Amish Country near Canton. He has over twenty years of experience, is a member of the National Percheron Association and performs routine health screenings for breeding stock.

Horses are raised with pasture access and daily handling to encourage calm temperaments and ease of training. Past foals have gone on to competitive driving events and local farm work. Roy prioritizes early socialization with children and other livestock, balancing temperament and conformation.

Facilities include open sheds and a spring-fed pond to support natural hydration throughout the year. Several of Roy’s Percherons have been noted for their gentle disposition in therapy programs, and his stock receives regular farrier and dental care. Foaling occurs in insulated stalls during cooler months, and young horses are gradually introduced to harness work under careful supervision.
