Harry W. Mosholder, Percheron horses, Rockwood, PA, Somerset County and the Laurel Highlands near Pittsburgh. They have been raising Percheron draft horses for over two decades under national registry standards and perform regular health evaluations with a local veterinarian. As active members of recognized draft horse associations, they maintain detailed records of lineage, temperament evaluations and soundness tests.

Their farm sits on rolling pastures where mares and foals freely graze, and young horses are introduced to gentle training in open barns designed for natural herd interactions. The team emphasizes early handling and consistent social exposure to build trust and resilience in each foal. Past foals have excelled in agricultural fairs and light draft work, a reflection of the breeders’ hands-on approach and patient guidance.

Feedback from local owners often notes the calm disposition and readiness to work of horses from the Mosholder program. Each year they welcome a small number of foals, ensuring personalized care and attention.
