Steven I. Yoder

Steven I. Yoder breeds Percheron horses in Mcveytown, PA, in the Juniata Valley of south-central Pennsylvania near State College. He has more than fifteen years of experience with draft horses and maintains membership in national Percheron associations, pairing that involvement with regular health screenings and genetic testing for common equine conditions.

Yoder’s farm balances turnout on rolling pastures with a daily routine of handling and groundwork that fosters steady temperaments and sound bone development. Each foal grows up alongside mature geldings and mares, learning social skills in a varied herd environment. The timber-frame barn, fenced paddocks and insulated stalls serve animals throughout the year, while a hoof-care schedule and tailored nutrition plan reflect input from local veterinarians.

His Percherons have taken part in small driving competitions and light farm work, embodying traits prized by hobby farmers and carriage enthusiasts alike. Clients often mention clear communication and calm introductions when visiting the farm.
