Robert S. Yoder

Robert S. Yoder breeds Percheron horses in Burke, NY, Franklin County and the North Country near Plattsburgh. He works with the national draft horse registry and follows established guidelines for health screening, vaccination and farriery. His Percherons graze on open pasture and receive daily handling from the foal stage, fostering calm temperaments that suit light farm work and family environments.

Owners appreciate their gentle manner under harness and steady performance in teamster events and local fairs. Each foal remains on the farm year-round with regular farrier visits and balanced feed to support healthy growth through changing seasons. His approach blends traditional draft horse practices with current welfare standards. Robert maintains a small herd to ensure personal attention to breeding selections focused on sound confirmation and adaptable temperaments. Foals are introduced early to ground-driving and turnout with adult horses to build confidence and proper movement.
