Ammon Troyer

Ammon Troyer breeds Percheron horses in Arcola, IL, serving east-central Illinois and the Champaign area. Troyer is a member of the Percheron Horse Association and follows recommended health testing and conformation evaluations. His horses are raised on pasture with daily turnout and handled gently from foalhood to encourage confidence around people and other animals.

The farm’s roots stretch back two generations, and traditional draft-horse training methods are balanced with modern welfare standards and regular pasture rotations. Visitors often comment on the calm demeanor of young stock and the clear communication during groundwork sessions. Foals are born in open barns with sheltered bedding, and each receives individual attention to set the foundation for a reliable working horse. During breeding season, mares and stallions are kept in adjacent paddocks to allow supervised introductions while maintaining individual health and safety. All animals receive year-round parasite control and seasonal hoof trimming to support long-term soundness.
