Jonathan Yoder

Jonathan Yoder, Percherons, Wingo, KY, serves Graves County in the Jackson Purchase region near Paducah. Yoder has worked with Percheron horses for over fifteen years and maintains registration with the American Percheron Horse Association. His lineage represents a multigenerational farmstead, blending traditional draft-horse husbandry with current welfare standards. Each foal undergoes health screenings for common breed concerns, and the farm follows industry guidelines for nutrition and hoof care.

Horses are raised in pasture-based paddocks with daily turnout, and foals receive socialization both with people and other livestock. Jonathan values a calm temperament and gentle handling, aiming to nurture animals suited for farm work, driving, or trail riding. Visitors at county fairs often comment on the horses’ solid conformation and steady nature when they meet them at local demonstrations. He sometimes offers farm tours to students and equine enthusiasts, sharing insights into draft-horse care and history.
