Slate Acre'S

Slate Acre’S Percheron farm in Baltic, OH, in Tuscarawas County and the Appalachian foothills near Canton offers a calm setting for draft horses. Robert J. Hershberger and Dorothy Hershberger have been breeding Percheron horses for many years and work with national draft horse associations to maintain regular health evaluations. Their mares and stallions live in open pastures with shelter access and receive daily turnout alongside occasional grooming sessions to support early bonding.

The farm follows principles of gentle handling and gradual training so foals grow accustomed to human interaction at a steady pace. Owners note that stable environments, balanced nutrition, and consistent farrier care contribute to well-muscled conformation and a calm disposition. Reviews often mention the horses’ sturdy build and patient temperaments when working on small farms or pulling wagons. Slate Acre’S shares detailed family records and veterinary certificates with each foal before placement.
