Daniel D. Shetler

Daniel D. Shetler and Mahlon L. Yoder are Percheron breeders in Sugarcreek, OH in Wayne County near Cleveland. They have been raising draft horses for over twenty years with membership in the National Percheron Horse Association and routine veterinary health testing, annual dental exams, and farrier evaluations.

The horses live on open, grassy pastures with daily turnout. They receive regular farrier visits and basic grooming treatments and are socialized within a family farm setting. Breeding stock comes from bloodlines known for calm temperaments and strong bone structure, offering reliable partners for both driving and light riding. Their farm traces its roots to local Amish communities and maintains traditional post and beam barns. Each foal enjoys individual handling from birth, helping to build trust and confidence. They follow best practices for nutrition, using forage-based diets supplemented by mineral mixes tailored to draft horses.
