Emery A. Raber

Emery A. Raber breeds Percheron horses in Greenville, PA, in northwestern Pennsylvania near Erie. Raber’s broodmares and stallions are registered with the U.S. Percheron Horse Association and receive routine veterinary care, including dental exams, joint screenings and hoof evaluations. Raber works with an equine nutritionist to develop balanced feeding plans, including forage analysis, that support growth, muscle development and metabolic health.

Foals spend their first months on rotating pasture paddocks with daily handling for halter training, leading practice and calm human interaction. A heated indoor stall barn, a sand arena and turnout paddocks provide safe conditions for exercise through seasonal changes. Raber’s breeding approach, which balances gentle handling with performance goals, has led to horses praised for solid conformation and steady temperaments in light farm work and show ring environments. These horses often adapt readily to carriage harness work, trail rides and light draft tasks on family farms.
