Raymond E. Yoder

Raymond E. Yoder is a Percheron breeder in Apple Creek, OH, Wayne County and the Akron area. He participates in national draft horse association programs and follows recommended health screenings for all breeding stock. Based on a family-owned property, the operation blends traditional draft horse values with hands-on care. His Percherons spend their early months on pasture with daily handling to encourage calm, adaptable temperaments.

The farm’s focus on foundation training introduces young horses to harness work and light draft tasks under experienced guidance. The wooden barns and fenced paddocks on the family farm allow foals to develop sound legs and strong hearts while staying close to adult mentors. Prospective owners note the consistent disposition of foals raised in a family-oriented setting and value the honest feedback Yoder provides on each animal’s strengths and development. Yoder’s background in working equine therapy programs informs his gentle approach to breeding and early socialization.
