Richard O. Yoder

Richard O. Yoder is a Percheron breeder in Milton, IA, Van Buren County and southeastern Iowa near Burlington. He has been raising Percheron horses for more than a decade under guidelines from the National Percheron Association and carries out routine health testing for soundness and temperament. Each foal is born and raised in a pasture setting where they learn to graze, socialize and respond to basic handling.

The farm focuses on natural hoof care and balanced nutrition, and horses spend time each day with handlers to build calm, trainable temperaments. Bloodlines trace back to French foundation stock and each horse is documented with pedigree records. A recent owner review notes steady updates on care and clear answers about lineage. Prospective buyers often visit the barn to meet horses in their everyday environment and discuss fit for driving or light farm work.
