Nathan T. Miller

Nathan T. Miller, Percheron horses, Oak Ridge, MO, in southeast Missouri near Cape Girardeau, is dedicated to breeding draft horses.

He follows recommended equine health screening protocols, including Coggins testing and joint evaluations, and maintains a membership with regional horse breeders associations. His Percheron horses live on pasture with daily turnout and hands-on handling from foal to maturity for early socialization. Miller’s approach combines traditional draft horse methods with modern welfare practices around nutrition and hoof care.

Many of his foals show the calm disposition needed for farm work or carriage driving on neighboring family farms. Visitors often note the quiet barn and the attentive training that builds trust at every stage. The farm’s rolling pastures and sturdy shelters support healthy growth through Missouri’s seasonal weather patterns. Regular veterinary check-ups and farrier visits are scheduled to ensure soundness at every stage.
