Kenneth L. Yoder

Kenneth L. Yoder breeds Percheron horses in Shipshewana, Indiana, in LaGrange County and the Michiana area near South Bend. He has bred Percherons for more than a decade and is a member of the American Percheron Horse Association, following health screenings and vaccination protocols recommended for the breed.

His horses are raised on pasture turnout across a family-run farm and receive daily handling to encourage steady temperaments from a young age. Foals are socialized alongside mature mares to support early learning and calm behavior. Visitors often note the horses’ gentle strength and robust health. Kenneth places emphasis on ground training and gradual exposure to farm equipment, preparing horses for light agricultural work.

Stable accommodations feature well-ventilated stalls and a balanced nutrition plan that supports welfare through changing seasons. This personalized farm approach helps ensure each horse adapts well to varied tasks and daily routines.
