John Mark Byler

John Mark Byler breeds Percheron horses in Middlefield, OH, serving Northeastern Ohio near Cleveland. He has been involved in Percheron breeding for more than a decade and maintains registration with national draft horse associations. Comprehensive routine health testing for soundness, conformation, and longevity is part of his program.

His horses live on spacious pastures with access to shelter and are handled daily to encourage calm temperaments and positive human interaction. Foals are raised alongside mature horses to foster natural social development and basic training from an early age. Feed is locally sourced premium hay supplemented with minerals to support strong bone growth and healthy coat condition. Regular farrier visits and veterinary check-ups ensure that each horse remains in peak condition year-round. The farm’s emphasis on gentle, consistent handling helps produce Percheron horses suited for riding, light draft work, and family-oriented environments.
