Moses S. Hostetler

Moses S. Hostetler, Percheron, Belleville, PA, is located in Schuylkill County and the anthracite region near Reading. Hostetler has maintained a registered Percheron breeding program for more than a decade, following health-screening protocols recommended by breed associations.

Foals and adult horses share spacious pastures and barn stalls where they receive daily handling to build confidence and social skills. Stalls are bedded with straw and paddocks are rotated seasonally to maintain pasture quality and support hoof health. Every horse receives routine farrier visits, dental checks, and nutrition plans tailored to support mature draft conditioning.

Several horses from the farm have become driving companions and gentle mounts for new riders, reflecting careful selection for temperament. Visitors note the calm atmosphere and Hostetler’s steady approach to raising horses suited to both farm work and pleasure driving. Hostetler is a member of the American Percheron Horse Association.
