Michael Yoder

Michael Yoder, Percheron breeder in Millersburg, OH, is based in Holmes County and the Amish Country near Columbus. He has worked with draft horses for more than ten years, follows breed association health-testing recommendations and arranges regular veterinary and farrier visits.

His horses are raised with daily pasture turnout, gentle handling from foaling and turnout in mixed-age groups to encourage social bonds. The farm's roots in agricultural work give each horse experience with light carriage and farm implements, resulting in sturdy builds and steady temperaments noted by clients. Each foal receives individual attention, early familiarization with harness and draft training, and opportunities for exposure to children and other farm animals under calm supervision.

Stalls are bedded with straw and cleaned daily, and turnout paddocks feature shelter and fresh water access. Bloodlines are selected for sound movement and gentle disposition, ensuring that each foal carries the draft horse heritage with reliable strength and calmness.
