Gideon Yoder

Gideon Yoder breeds Percheron horses in Canton, MN, located in Fillmore County and the Southeast Minnesota region near Rochester. Yoder maintains membership in the National Percheron Horse Association and follows breed-specific health screening protocols, including regular veterinary evaluations, conformation checks, and hoof care partnerships.

The Percherons are raised on a mixed-grass pasture with access to a spacious run-in shed and daily turnout, ensuring strong bone development and social bonds. Feeding programs include locally grown hay and custom grain mixes designed to support draft horse metabolism without excess weight. Every foal receives early handling for calmness around people and gradual exposure to farm sounds, tools and other livestock.

One local owner describes her gelding as dependable in both field work and light driving, highlighting the breed’s characteristic strength and steady temperament. Detailed lineage records accompany every foal, reflecting transparency about mating pairs and ancestral performance.
