Mark Byler

Mark Byler, Percheron horse breeder in Middlefield, OH, is based in Geauga County near Cleveland.

He has spent more than a decade raising and training Percheron horses under guidelines set by draft horse associations and schedules annual veterinary exams and hoof care to ensure soundness. He participates in national draft horse associations, keeps pedigree records to guide careful selection of bloodlines, and blends performance and farm work lines. His farm sits on rolling fields that have supported carriage and draft work for decades, creating a familiar setting that helps foals grow with confidence.

His horses live on spacious pastureland with daily turnout and shelter in well ventilated barns to support natural herd behaviors. Socialization begins early, with young draft horses accustomed to both light farm chores and calm handling by children. Many have gone on to work in parades or local fairs, drawing praise for their steady temperament and gentle presence.
