Daniel J. Raber

Daniel J. Raber is a Percheron breeder in Bellville, OH, serving Richland County and the Mohican Valley near Mansfield. He has been involved in Percheron horse care for several years and follows American Percheron Horse Association guidelines for conformation and health testing. Raber’s farm keeps its stallions and mares in pasture-based herds with daily handling to promote gentle temperaments and readiness for riding, draft work or showing.

The farm emphasizes sound foundation training rooted in family agricultural practices and a relaxed routine that supports natural movement. Regular farrier visits and veterinary examinations help each foal develop strong hooves and joints. Clients commend the steady dispositions of the horses and the clear communication they receive from Raber throughout the breeding process.

Foals are raised alongside older horses to encourage proper social structure and exposure to varied tasks from an early age. Raber combines feed programs tailored to individual needs with open pasture time to ensure robust growth and stamina.
