Ben N. Yoder

Ben N. Yoder breeds Percheron horses in Baltic, OH in Tuscarawas County and the Appalachian foothills near Columbus. He has developed his program over several years, focusing on bloodlines known for strength and soundness. His horses undergo regular veterinary care, including health screens for common draft-horse concerns.

Yoder’s mares and foals live in open pastures with daily turnout, benefiting from early handling to encourage calm temperaments. He raises Percheron horses suited to both light farm work and pleasure driving, and his foals have been noted for their steady dispositions at local fairs. Family-run barn routines and a commitment to responsible stewardship shape each stage of growth, and owners appreciate the clear communication on lineage and training progress. Prospective owners can expect detailed guidance on feeding, farriery schedules, and conditioning plans that reflect each horse’s individual needs. Whether destined for draft competitions or trail riding, Yoder maintains a balance of traditional methods and modern welfare standards.
