Charles B. Hapner

Charles B. Hapner and Nancy A. Hapner are Percheron horse breeders in New Paris, Ohio, Preble County and the Miami Valley near Dayton. They follow established registry guidelines and support health screening recommended for draft horse breeders. The Hapners emphasize gentle handling from birth to foster trust and adaptability in farm work and riding.

Foals and mature horses share turnout fields and interact regularly with people to build calm temperaments. Their operation draws on years of experience in careful lineage selection and provides both open stall and pasture housing. Bloodlines are chosen for steady dispositions and strong conformation suited to varied roles. Many owners appreciate the approachable nature of each horse and consistent care rooted in a family farm tradition. Seasonal grazing rotations and balanced nutrition plans on their farm help maintain sound hooves, healthy muscle development and overall vitality.
