Allen Troyer

Allen Troyer, Percheron horse breeder in Guilford, NY, serves Chenango County and the Southern Tier near Binghamton. With over fifteen years of experience, Troyer breeds Percheron horses registered with a national draft horse registry and follows recommended health screenings for soundness and genetic health.

Stalls and shelters feature deep bedding and open ventilation to support respiratory health year-round, and a rotational grazing plan maintains pasture vitality. Foals are raised in mixed pastures where they learn herd dynamics from weaning onward. Early hands-on handling and gradual exposure to harness work help develop calm, adaptable temperaments suited to farm or driving tasks.

Periods of ground driving introduce foals to towing light loads, building confidence without undue pressure. A family-run farm since 1989, the operation balances traditional draft horse values with respectful husbandry. This approach has drawn favorable feedback for consistent foal growth and cooperative disposition.
