Dana Carlough

Dana Carlough breeds Percheron horses in Raleigh, NC, serving Wake County and the Research Triangle near Durham. She follows breed registry guidelines for health screening and conformation evaluations, and her stock undergoes regular veterinary checks and farrier visits to support long-term soundness.

Each foal is raised on her family’s small farm, with daily turnout on rotating pastures, balanced feeding plans, and gentle handling from birth. Young horses receive groundwork lessons and acclimation to harness work in a low-stress setting, fostering confidence and a cooperative attitude.

Dana combines her background in English and driving disciplines to produce versatile animals known for their calm presence and reliable performance in both arenas. Her Percherons have been placed in driving competitions and therapeutic riding programs, and she takes care to match horses to owners based on skill level and goals. With more than a decade of devoted breeding experience, Dana emphasizes clear communication and natural movement to build lasting partnerships.
