Black Walnut

Black Walnut is a Percheron breeder in Baldwin, WI, in northwestern Wisconsin near Minneapolis. Under the guidance of Nick Hansen, its program builds on more than a decade of selective breeding, and each mare and stallion undergoes routine health screenings including blood panels, joint evaluations, and vaccination updates. The herd is registered with major national equine associations, and pedigrees are documented from three generations.

Foals are raised in a family barn where they spend daylight hours on rotating pastures and nights in open-stall barns with deep bedding. Early handling, varied terrain exposure, and regular farrier visits support balanced growth and a dependable temperament. Owners often note the gentle nature and robust build typical of Percheron stock, suited to both driving harness and light farm work. Long-term clients appreciate transparent breeding records and the farm’s welcoming atmosphere during scheduled farm visits.
