Dennis Graber

Dennis Graber, Shire horses, New Haven, IN, in Allen County and Northeast Indiana near Fort Wayne, is a horse breeder. With more than fifteen years in the field, he maintains registrations through national equine associations and performs routine health testing for soundness.

His Shire foals are raised in pasture-based paddocks, introduced to basic harness training early, and receive daily handling to foster their calm temperament. He shares his farm’s story through occasional open barn days and local fairs, where visitors can learn about draft horse care.

A local equestrian club member, he draws praise for patient guidance and a willingness to support first-time owners with breed-specific advice. Daily grooming sessions and turnout in mixed-age groups encourage social bonds and hoof strength under the guidance of an on-site farrier. Objective conformation assessments and occasional performance reviews at county shows help monitor the breeding program’s progress.
