Heidi Nagel

Heidi Nagel is a Percheron horse breeder in Sandy Hook, CT, serving southwestern Connecticut and Bridgeport. She has been dedicated to percheron breeding for more than a decade, maintaining active membership in draft horse registries and following recognized health testing protocols.

Nagel selects bloodlines for strength and temperament, ensuring each foal inherits the steady disposition that draft work demands. Brood mares and stallions graze on established pastures with access to stall shelter, and foals are introduced to daily handling from birth. Visitors often remark on the calm nature of Nagel’s horses under saddle or in harness.

Young stock follow a gradual training schedule that begins with light groundwork and progresses to hitch introduction under careful supervision. A recent county fair drive highlighted the structural soundness of her young horses in a local competition. Consistent turnout, gentle groundwork and a family-oriented setting form the core of her farm’s care philosophy.
