Teays Ridge

Teays Ridge is a Percheron breeder based in Ashville, OH, serving Pickaway County in southern Ohio near Columbus. The farm has been under the guidance of Michael A. Watkins, who follows established husbandry practices and keeps all horses registered and evaluated through routine veterinary care. Stallions and mares receive regular farrier visits, dental checks and vaccinations to ensure long-term soundness and well-being. Breeding stock is selected for sound conformation and gentle disposition.

Foals share open pastures and early handling sessions to encourage calm temperaments and ease of training. Daily turnout and a diet balanced for working draft horses support healthy growth, while indoor shelter offers relief during harsh weather. This family-run operation combines gentle, consistent handling with a relaxed farm setting, allowing each horse to develop confidence and charisma. Visitors often note the serene atmosphere and the horses’ approachable nature, reflecting a breeding philosophy rooted in quality over quantity.
