Steve Sivy

Steve Sivy breeds percheron horses in Louisville, Ohio, in Butler County near Cincinnati. He has been involved in percheron breeding for more than a decade and follows registry standards for periodic health screenings, including regular veterinary checks and genetic testing.

His horses grow up on mixed-grass pastures with daily turnout, transitioning to individual and group stalls as needed for weather and development. Foals receive early-handling sessions and gentle ground training to build trust and confidence before formal halter work. The farm’s barn features spacious bays and dedicated wash racks, ensuring clean, safe surroundings year-round. Nutrition plans are tailored with quality hay and grains, balanced for growth stages and activity levels under guidance from equine specialists. Visitors often remark on the herd’s calm temperament, which supports riding, driving and show prospects subsequent to thorough lameness evaluations. Seasonal farrier and dental care schedules ensure each horse maintains soundness and comfort throughout early training and later performance phases.
