Yo-Durs

Yo-Durs, Percheron horses, Sugarcreek, Ohio, in Tuscarawas County near Canton, are a breeder with a decade of experience. They follow standards of the Percheron Horse Association, keep current veterinary and farrier care records, and ensure foals receive daily handling and early training. Their horses live in pasture-based herds with access to run-in sheds, and foals spend early mornings with families to build trust and calm temperaments. Growing up in Sugarcreek’s Dutch-influenced farming community, Aaron and Marlene bring multigenerational experience to breeding gentle giants.

Their commitment is reflected in consistently sound conformation and even temperaments that suit driving, farm work, and light draft competitions. Their foals are weaned gradually and introduced to hitch training under low-stress methods, preparing them for various draft roles. Marlene’s background in equine nutrition guides their feed programs, combining high-quality forages with mineral-balanced supplements. They participate in regional draft horse shows and clinic demonstrations to share practical skills and celebrate the breed’s heritage.
