Dick F. Okray

Dick F. Okray is a Percheron breeder in Stevens Point, WI, serving Central Wisconsin near Wausau. He follows national draft horse registries’ guidelines and ensures all breeding stock undergoes regular health evaluations, including lameness exams and dental checks.

His horses live on rolling pastures with open-access shelters, enjoy daily grooming and seasonal hoof care, and are handled from foalhood to foster calm temperaments. Over the past several seasons, his small-scale program has focused on quality over volume, allowing personal attention to each mare and foal. A member of the United States Percheron Association, he introduces youngstock to basic harness work by yearling stage, blending traditional draft training with cooperative behavior.

The gentle nature of these horses makes them well-suited to educational visits and light farm duties, reflecting a long family tradition of draft horse husbandry. On-site visits allow observation of natural herd interactions and seasonal training sessions.
