Chad R. Marker

Chad R. Marker breeds Percheron horses in Ansonia, OH, in Darke County and the Miami Valley near Dayton. A registered member of national Percheron associations, he has been actively breeding these draft horses for many years. He maintains a small herd housed in a covered barn with sheltered paddocks, allowing individualized care, consistent and ample social contact, and year-round comfort. Routine veterinary care, seasonal health screening, and thorough hoof maintenance are cornerstones of his program.

Horses are raised on open pasture with structured daily turnout and early handling to foster steady temperaments and strong social bonds. Each foal is gently introduced to groundwork exercises before weaning, supporting sound conformation and cooperative behavior. Breeding stock undergoes genetic evaluations and temperament assessments to uphold breed standards. Clients often remark on the calm demeanor and reliable performance of Marker’s Percherons on farm and trail.
