Jacob L. Yoder

Jacob L. Yoder and Mary Esther Yoder are Percheron breeders based in Fredericksburg, OH, in Wayne County and Northeast Ohio near Cleveland. They have over a decade of experience with the breed, maintaining strict standards for hoof, joint, and overall soundness through regular veterinary evaluations.

Their horses live in family pasture settings with daily turnout and early handling to encourage calm temperaments and strong social bonds. Several of their Percherons have earned high marks at regional draft horse shows and are often noted for their steady gait and willing nature.

The Yoders follow traditional breeding methods combined with modern nutritional plans, ensuring each foal benefits from balanced feeding and attentive grooming from birth. Visitors often remark on the farm’s welcoming atmosphere and the well-mannered nature of the young stock. Health testing and open communication about lineage help maintain consistency in temperament and performance across their breeding program.
