Enos A. Yoder

Enos A. Yoder, Percherons, Westcliffe, CO, in Custer County and the Wet Mountain Valley near Colorado Springs. Yoder is a longtime member of the American Percheron Horse Association and works with local vets on health screenings for conformation and soundness.

Stallions, mares, and foals share spacious paddocks adjacent to a barn with soft bedding and temperature-regulated stalls, with daily turnout for exercise. Early handling and exposure to farm chores help the foals develop a calm temperament and learn to pull light loads on the property’s green pastures.

Several of their horses have been featured in regional draft competitions, and a recent visitor praised the farm’s quiet approach to training. Yoder offers guidance on feeding programs based on forage testing and adjusts mineral supplementation according to seasonal pasture changes. This family-run farm emphasizes sustainable pasturing and builds lasting bonds between handlers and their draft horses.
