Steven Yoder

Steven Yoder, Percheron breeder in Sugarcreek, Ohio, serves Tuscarawas County and the Appalachian foothills near Canton. He has been raising these gentle giants for over a decade and maintains membership in the Percheron Horse Association. All foals undergo regular health screenings, deworming schedules and farrier visits to ensure balanced development. Foals grow strong on nutrient-rich pasture supplemented with hay from nearby fields and a balanced grain mix tailored to each age group.

His horses spend daylight hours in open fields and retire to cozy stalls at night, with early handling to foster calm temperaments. Socialization with humans and other livestock begins within days of birth to promote confidence and adaptability. Several of his draft horses have earned ribbons at regional shows, reflecting his steady commitment to sound structure and willing attitude. Visitors often comment on the farm’s peaceful setting and transparent breeding practices.
