Raymond S. Petersheim

Raymond S. Petersheim breeds Percheron horses in Lykens, PA, Dauphin County and the Susquehanna Valley near Harrisburg. They have been involved in breeding draft horses for over two decades, maintaining membership in the Percheron Horse Association and completing regular health screenings. Foals and adult horses live in pasture-based paddocks with turnouts each day and receive early handling to support a calm, confident temperament.

Their focus on traditional farm work means these gentle giants are familiar with harness training and field tasks from an early age. Clients mention the farm’s quiet setting and the breeders’ patience in answering questions, reflecting a long history of hands-on care and breeding sound, well-socialized animals.

Their breeding program emphasizes hoof care, nutritional balance, and regular veterinary partnerships to support overall soundness. Horses from this farm often develop the steady disposition and physical strength prized by working and driving enthusiasts alike.
