Donald Hastings

Donald Hastings breeds Shire horses in New London, Iowa, serving Henry County and the Mississippi River region near Iowa City. He has been breeding Shire horses for more than 15 years and maintains membership in the American Shire Horse Society with routine health screening for soundness and temperament. His horses live on open pasture with round-the-clock access to shelter and are handled daily to foster trust before any training.

Many of his horses have competed in county fairs and plow-team demonstrations, reflecting a long family tradition that dates back three generations. Fans of draft work often note his horses’ steady gait and calm disposition, traits he cultivates from weaning onward.

Annual veterinary and farrier visits are scheduled to ensure each horse’s well-being, and foals are introduced to farm routines early to build resilience. Visitors often appreciate the farm’s quiet setting and learn about draft techniques through informal tours or demonstrations.
