Stoney View

Stoney View breeds Percheron horses in Middlebury, IN, serving Elkhart County and the Michiana area near South Bend. Ernest H. Yoder has worked with Percheron bloodlines for many years and adheres to registry standards and routine health screenings for all breeding stock. Horses are raised in open paddocks with attention to early handling, and they receive daily turnout and seasonal farrier visits.

A farmstead with Amish heritage, Stoney View balances traditional practices with purposeful training, often welcoming local 4-H enthusiasts for demonstrations. Each foal’s temperament is observed during weaning, ensuring gentle dispositions fit for both draft work and show circuits. Their feeding regimen combines quality hay, pasture grasses, and measured grain to support growth and maintain sound feet and joints. Prospective owners receive a detailed record of each foal’s lineage and health history before transition. Neighbors often spot Yoder guiding mares down farm lanes for open-air rides, reflecting a hands-on approach that extends beyond the barn.
