It follows American Percheron Society standards and arranges regular health screenings, including annual Coggins testing, to support strong, balanced horses. Its horses enjoy daily pasture turnout, supervised barn playgroups, and structured handling from weaning, fostering calm, confident temperaments.

Owner Emanuel R. Yoder continues a multi-generational tradition of working draft horses on the family farm, combining hands-on experience with a focus on affectionate temperaments suited to farm and carriage work. Each foal grows up alongside other livestock, learning gentle manners from an early age.

Routine farrier visits and regular veterinary checkups support excellent hoof and joint health throughout each horse’s life.
