Virginia Hosts World Percheron Congress
GAY BROWNLEE
Virginia Correspondent
LEXINGTON, Va. From
Oct. 22-26, the World Percheron
Congress America 2002 awarded
numerous grand champion and
world titles in halter, hitch, farm,
amateur, and crossbred classes.
Premier, senior, and junior exhib
itor were also named. The Con
gress was presented by the Perch
eron Horse Association of
America.
One organizer indicated the
event was really a tribute to the
noble Percheron horse and a cele
bration of a magnificent breed
whose descendents provided the
power to build and feed the na
tion. The Percheron horses seen
by visitors to the Congress, how
ever, were not exactly like their
centuries-earlier counterparts
who originated in the province of
Le Perche in Normandy, France.
That is because the breeding of
them now is done primarily for
pleasure and exhibition. Indeed,
that aspect got plenty of testimo
nial fodder in the form of
cheering fans engrossed in the
majestic horses.
The Percheron breed had bare
ly survived the era of mechaniza
tion subsequent to the conclusion
of World War 11. Sources report
the rebuilding process for Perche
rons has taken 40 years but now
the number of those being regis
tered is steadily climbing.
The prestigious Congress saw
some 650 Percheron horses and
267 exhibitors converge at the
world class Virginia Horse Cen
ter.
Some 27 of the lower 48 states
were represented in the participa
tion. A number of exhibitors and
owners took a sojourn south from
the Canadian provinces in order
to enjoy the challenge and prove
their mettle in stiff competition.
According to Alex Christian,
Fredericktown, Ohio, paid at
tendance exceeded 4,000 guests.
Christian is the Percheron Horse
Association of America’s secre
tary.
Albert Cleve, the show super
intendent from Farmington, Mo.,
expressed a positive observation
in mentioning the high quality of
Percheron horses exhibited and
the show itself.
“I think it went very well,”
Cleve said. “Its the biggest Perch
eron show in current years. The
quality was extremely high.”
“Blue Ribbon Farms Hercules”
was the grand champion stallion.
Hercules is owned by Blue Rib
bon Farms, operated by Albert
and Karen Cleve, Farmington,
Mo. Blue Ribbon Farms was also
the breeder. Pennwoods Perche
rons, operated by Chad and
Rhonda Cole, Centre Hall, Pa.,
exhibited the stallion.
“Rolling Acres Spike” was re-
