Nathan Byler

Nathan Byler, Percheron breeder in Munfordville, KY, cares for sturdy draft horses in Hart County and the Mammoth Cave region near Louisville. He has more than a decade of hands-on experience working alongside his family and follows American Percheron Horse Association guidelines with regular health screenings for joints, vision, and cardiac health.

Breeding decisions are guided by temperament and conformation, with mares and stallions selected for strong legs, well-sloped shoulders, and steady natures. Each foal spends its first year on open pasture with deep-stall shelter and daily handling to build trust and muscle tone. Nathan balances natural forage with measured grains and schedules routine veterinary and farrier care.

His gentle Percherons are comfortable in small-scale farm work and community exhibitions, earning praise for their calm presence and reliable strength. Tours of the family-run farm give insight into the hands-on approach that shapes each horse’s early development.
