John Yoder

John Yoder breeds Percheron horses in Monte Vista, CO, in the San Luis Valley near Alamosa. With more than a decade of experience, he follows standards set by the Percheron Horse Association and maintains regular health evaluations for his stock. His program balances pasture turnout with structured training to foster strong, steady temperaments. Stall and run facilities with ample space support daily movement and social interaction, while routine farrier visits and veterinary checkups keep hooves and joints in good condition. Spacious barns provide shelter in winter months, and large paddocks allow horses to roam freely in fair weather. Mares and foals receive balanced diets formulated for each stage of growth and reproduction.

Foals grow up alongside other equines on gently rolling pastures, with early handling that encourages calm behavior around riders and handlers. Clients appreciate his clear communication and the foals’ even-keel nature in both draft work and driving settings.
