Timothy Rhoades

Timothy Rhoades breeds Percheron horses in Guys Mills, PA, in Crawford County and northwestern Pennsylvania near Erie. He maintains membership with regional draft horse associations and adheres to health protocols including regular veterinary exams, joint evaluations, and vaccination schedules. His breeding program emphasizes conformation, working temperament, and longevity, in line with standards set by national draft horse organizations.

Horses graze on rotating pastures through the seasons and live in deep-bedded stalls that support hoof health and comfort. Foals begin structured handling routines from birth, building confidence through daily turnout, groundwork, and gentle socialization. Owners often note the Percherons’ steady temperaments and adaptability for farm work, trail riding, and light driving tasks.

The farm’s balanced approach to breeding and care has fostered a reputation for sound, versatile draft horses suited to diverse needs. All horses receive farrier visits every six to eight weeks and age-appropriate dental exams to maintain overall wellness.
