Matt Zinnel

Matt Zinnel raises Shire horses on his family farm in Rockwell City, IA, in Calhoun County and the Des Moines area. His operation adheres to recognized breed registry standards and routine health testing for genetic soundness, supported by active membership in established equine associations.

The horses live in spacious pastures with regular turnout, early socialization programs and access to comfortable shelters to encourage strong physical development and friendly, steady temperaments. Animals from the program have been seen at local draft horse shows and community farm events, reflecting a focus on gentle handling and versatility in light agriculture or driving demonstrations.

Daily routines include hands-on grooming sessions that help build trust and familiar routines, while feeding follows balanced protocols to support healthy growth and performance. This thoughtful approach has earned praise for producing reliable, calm draft horses well suited to both novice handlers and experienced breeders.
