Levi J. Raber

Levi J. Raber is a Percheron breeder in Mount Gilead, OH, in north-central Ohio near Columbus. Drawing on years of experience, he participates in the national Percheron registry and follows recommended health screenings for mares and foals, including joint evaluations and vaccination protocols.

His horses are raised on rolling pasture turnout with individual stalls for rest, and they receive daily handling under open-air run-in sheds to encourage a calm, trainable temperament. Routine deworming and dental evaluations support their long-term welfare. Each foal encounters early socialization and gentle groundwork to support future driving or riding partnerships. The farm’s family setting allows careful monitoring of nutrition and hoof care, while shaded paddocks and a climate-controlled barn provide shelter throughout the year.

Clients appreciate the focus on soundness and steady dispositions, with several young stock earning ribbons at local fairs. This emphasis on well-rounded Percherons reflects a commitment to traditions of draft work and community engagement.
