Hazelwood

Hazelwood Percheron horses, Freeport, PA, Armstrong County and the Allegheny Valley near Pittsburgh. William L. Kronen and Carol L. Kronen have been raising Percheron horses for several years and maintain membership in the American Percheron Horse Association while following recommended health testing guidelines. Their horses live in pasture-based settings with regular turnout, and each colt and filly is handled daily to encourage a calm, responsive nature.

The farm blends traditional breeding methods with hands-on training for light draft work and pleasure riding. Visitors note the horses’ steady dispositions and strong confirmation, seeing generations of careful selection in their sturdy builds. Hazelwood reflects a family-driven approach that values partnership with each animal and a commitment to the breed’s gentle strength. Stalls feature natural bedding and open-air designs that promote airflow, and turnout paddocks include sheltered loafing areas for all weather conditions.
