Emanuel D. Yoder

Emanuel D. Yoder breeds Percheron horses in Ashland, OH, serving Ashland County and the Northeast Ohio region near Cleveland. They follow guidelines from the American Percheron Horse Association and maintain routine health screenings to support sound structure and temperament. Foals are raised in a pasture-based environment with regular handling to encourage calm dispositions and adaptability to farm work or pleasure driving.

The Yoder farm hosts open days during county fairs and frequently exhibits in regional driving competitions to share their horses’ gentle strength and steady gait. Their gentle approach and attention to early socialization help young horses develop confidence around people and equipment. Their breeding program emphasizes balanced conformation and a calm temperament suitable for farm work, carriage driving, or therapeutic settings.

Based on a family-run homestead, their draft horses benefit from ample turnout space and a consistent care schedule through all seasons.
