Susan Liepold

Susan Liepold breeds Percheron horses in Elyria, Ohio, Lorain County and the Greater Cleveland area near Cleveland. She has been refining her program for over a dozen years, following national registry standards and incorporating regular veterinary health screenings for joints and hooves.

Her Percheron foals grow up in pasture-based paddocks with daily hands-on socialization to support balanced temperaments. Adult horses enjoy turnout on rolling pastures and are accustomed to farm routines that emphasize calm handling. Several of her horses have been recognized at local draft horse shows for their strength and disposition.

Visitors note a relaxed atmosphere where each animal’s welfare guides daily decisions. Collaboration with local farriers and equine nutritionists ensures each horse receives tailored hoof care and balanced feeding. She records each horse’s lineage and temperament notes to match horses thoughtfully with their future roles, whether in agriculture, shows or pleasure riding.
