Shanahan Harness

Shanahan Harness is a Percheron breeder in Huntsville, Ohio, western Ohio near Dayton. The operation has served local farms for more than ten years, adhering to standard health screenings, flocking breeding records, and maintaining ties with national draft horse associations.

Every Percheron foal joins pasture rotation from its earliest weeks, and mature horses live in small herds on well-drained paddocks. Foals are introduced to basic harness work under gentle supervision as they mature in age-appropriate routines. Care includes custom-mixed rations balanced for work and rest plus a barn shelter that encourages natural movement while buffering harsh weather.

The family-run farm traces breeding lines through regional pulling exhibitions and invites neighbors for occasional visits to learn about draft horse care. Regular farrier visits and veterinary checks are scheduled to ensure overall health, soundness, and long-term sound foot structure. Client feedback often highlights the consistent temperaments, strong bone structure, and quiet confidence of their Percherons.
