David L. Yoder

David L. Yoder, Percheron horse breeder in Clare, Michigan, serves Central Michigan and the Great Lakes Bay region near Midland. His program has produced sturdy draft horses for more than two decades with membership in the American Percheron Horse Association and a focus on annual soundness exams and regular veterinary screening. Foals are raised in small family paddocks with daily handling and turnout alongside mature herd members. This approach helps young horses develop strong bone and muscle structure while becoming accustomed to farm routines.

Past foals have gone on to successful uses in both hobby farms and demonstration teams at local fairs, reflecting Yoder’s dedication to temperament as well as conformation. The farm’s historic barn provides ample shelter and clean stalls, and Yoder welcomes prospective owners to observe feeding sessions or breeding sheds by appointment. His emphasis on gentle handling and early groundwork supports horses that are calm under saddle or at the hitch. Yoder participates in regional exhibitions and shares breeding records transparently, offering each horse with pedigree documentation and training updates.
