Stiles Milton

Stiles Milton works with Percheron horses in Elliston, VA, Montgomery County and the Roanoke Valley near Roanoke. He has bred Percherons for over a decade and holds membership with the United States Percheron Association, ensuring all animals receive routine health screenings for hereditary concerns. Selective breeding practices focus on soundness and longevity, with stallions chosen for proven lineage. Regular veterinary checkups and farrier care contribute to each horse’s well-being.

The broodmares and newborn foals graze on open pasture adjacent to sheltered stalls, and the herd is kept small to ensure individualized care, early handling and gradual social interaction with other horses. His breeding program emphasizes balanced conformation and steady temperaments suited for both farm work and carriage. Visitors often comment on the gentle disposition and robust build of his stock. Milton’s interest in preserving draft horse heritage supports community events showcasing traditional draft power.
