Marvin R. Byler

Marvin R. Byler is a Percheron breeder in Oblong, IL, serving Crawford County and the Wabash Valley near Evansville. He has been breeding Percherons for many years and participates in national registries with health testing for common genetic conditions.

His horses live in pasture-based herds with access to barn stalls and are handled daily to foster calm dispositions and readiness for trail riding, farm work or driving. The family-owned farm has welcomed visiting judges at regional shows and often showcases foals that reflect quiet strength and reliable movement. Prospective owners note his thorough documentation of lineage and veterinary care, and many have remarked on the gentle nature of their new Percheron companions.

Each year local guests observe foaling season and learn about the breed’s traditional role on working farms. His consistent updates by email or phone help buyers feel connected as their horses settle into new surroundings.
