Melvin D. Miller

Melvin D. Miller, Percheron breeder in Millersburg, OH, raises draft horses in Ohio’s Amish Country near Cleveland. He registers foals with recognized equine associations and performs routine veterinary health screenings to maintain soundness in his breeding stock. Each breeding mare and stallion undergoes conformation assessment before mating, and seasonal farrier visits support healthy hoof development.

His horses are socialized from foalhood with daily handling and spend ample time on pasture and in a lighted barn to encourage steady development of muscle and bone. Stable management emphasizes turnout, clean bedding and a forage-rich diet tailored to each horse’s needs, complemented by a regular dental care schedule. Seasonal pasture rotation and access to shelter protect the herd through winter months.

The farm is family run, blending traditional stewardship with ongoing welfare practices. Visitors note the calm demeanor of the horses and the genuine care evident in his quiet turnout paddocks.
