Abner N. Miller

Abner N. Miller, a Percheron breeder in Ilion, NY, operates in Herkimer County and the Mohawk Valley near Utica. Miller has dedicated several years to careful Percheron breeding, maintaining registration with the Percheron Horse Association and adhering to recommended health testing. His farm has remained family-owned for over three generations, preserving a focus on working ability and calm disposition. The breeding program emphasizes sound conformation and strong working lines suited for draft, driving, and light farm tasks.

The horses are raised on open pasture, where they learn to socialize with people and other animals from a young age. Daily turnout and veterinary partnerships support each animal’s well-being in a historic barn setting. Horses receive basic harness training before leaving the farm to ensure a smooth transition for new owners. Many owners note the gentle temperament and sturdy build that are hallmarks of Miller’s stock.
