Orvan Lee Miller

Orvan Lee Miller, Percherons, Arcola, IL in East-Central Illinois near Champaign. Miller has over a decade of experience breeding Percherons and maintains membership in the American Percheron Horse Association while scheduling annual veterinary health testing and farrier visits to support hoof and joint soundness.

The herd lives on open pastures with rolling hills and enjoys daily turnout alongside ample fresh water and a diet formulated for draft breeds. Foals are socialized from birth with regular handling in the barn aisle and exposure to farm equipment to foster calm temperaments.

Miller’s approach balances draft horse performance with gentle interaction, allowing the animals to adapt to riding, driving and light farm work. Several mares and stallions have placed at regional draft horse shows for their sound structure and steady disposition. Local farm visitors often comment on the consistent care and friendly nature of the herd.
