Samuel W. Hershberger

Samuel W. Hershberger, Percheron breeder in Oak Hill, OH, runs a family farm in southern Ohio near Columbus. He holds membership in the American Percheron Horse Association and follows guidelines for genetic selection and foal development. All breeding stock and foals receive comprehensive health screenings for joint, respiratory, and metabolic conditions. Each foal is socialized with other livestock, enjoys daily turnout on rolling pastures, and benefits from early handling sessions.

Horses are trained gently for farm work, light draft pulls, and occasional local shows to build strength and confidence. Visitors often note the calm temperaments and solid conformation of Hershberger’s Percherons when meeting them in pasture. The farm maintains a four-stall barn with heated waterers, spacious paddocks, and access to shaded feeding areas throughout the season. Prospective owners appreciate detailed records of breeding, health, and training milestones offered before placing a new horse at its future home.
