Josh Minshull

Josh Minshull, percheron, Yukon, OK, are experienced breeders in Canadian County near Oklahoma City. They have been raising percheron horses for more than a decade and maintain active membership in the Percheron Horse Association. All breeding stock undergoes regular veterinary health screens, including lameness evaluations and annual dental checks, along with fertility and genetic assessments to support sound conformation. This care is complemented by a grounded approach to temperament, with foals exposed early to quiet handling, hitching basics, and turnout alongside older companions.

Their horses thrive on pasture and hay from their native range, with roomy paddocks, sturdy run-in sheds, and regular pasture rotation to protect forage and encourage healthy movement. The farm blends traditional draft horse husbandry with modern standards, using low-stress handling and positive reinforcement for groundwork and hitch training. Several young animals recently earned ribbons at the Canadian County fair draft horse show, demonstrating steady manners and impressive muscle development.
