Patricia Andio

Patricia Andio, Percheron horses, is based in Canfield, OH, in Mahoning County in the Mahoning Valley near Youngstown. She has been breeding draft horses for more than five years, adheres to national association guidelines, and shares health-testing results with potential owners.

Her Percherons live on spacious pasture with run-in sheds and plenty of turnout, while daily training emphasizes gentle handling, early socialization and groundwork skills. The farm follows balanced feeding programs with hay, grains and seasonal mineral supplements, overseen by a local equine nutritionist. Several of her young stallions have placed in regional draft horse pulls, reflecting the farm’s hands-on approach.

The barn features spacious stalls with straw bedding and safe fencing around turnout paddocks, and the veterinarian and farrier visit on a regular schedule. Clients receive detailed updates on each foal’s health and growth milestones from birth through weaning, a practice that many mention as a highlight of working with Andio.
