Andy D. Yoder, Percheron horses, Belle Rive, IL in the Southern Illinois region near St. Louis. With over two decades of focused Percheron breeding, he maintains membership in the American Percheron Registry and follows industry-standard health screening for soundness and temperament.

His horses are raised in a mix of spacious paddocks and sheltered stalls, with nutritional plans developed alongside a local equine nutritionist. Foals begin socialization through daily handling and positive exposure to common farm sounds and equipment, laying a foundation for reliable draft work.

Several of his Percherons make regular appearances at county fairs and regional draft horse exhibitions, drawing positive notes for their steady gait and trainable nature. Owners appreciate the calm demeanors fostered by consistent farrier visits, veterinary care, and a family-first management approach. Year-round indoor arenas and covered round pens support training in varied weather, reflecting a thoughtful approach to steady progress and equine well-being.
