Double Yy

Double Yy, Percheron horses, East Greenbush, NY, is a family-run operation in Rensselaer County and the Capital District near Albany. With several years dedicated to selective breeding under recognized registry protocols, the operation maintains detailed health records and conducts regular genetic evaluations. The herd grazes on managed pastures with access to shelter and receives routine farriery, balanced nutrition and seasonal veterinary checkups.

Owner Dr. Michael Yager applies his veterinary insight to early handling and groundwork, guiding foals through gentle exposure to equipment and people. Focus on socialization in group paddocks helps young horses develop steady temperaments and confidence. Mares and foals enjoy spacious paddocks through spring and summer, with warm stall access during winter months. They also participate in community shows and county fairs to showcase foal development and draft demonstrations. This approach produces Percherons known for reliability in draft work, farm tasks and leisure riding.
