Michael Hagberg

Michael Hagberg, Shire breeder in Battle Ground, WA, serves the Pacific Northwest near Portland. He has been raising Shire horses for several years, participates in national draft horse associations and follows recommended health screenings. His breeding program builds on careful record-keeping, thoughtful pairing of bloodlines and a focus on structural soundness.

Each Shire enjoys daily turnout on open pasture and regular hands-on socialization from foaling through maturity. The farm’s low-stress environment includes shaded paddocks beneath mature trees, natural water sources and consistent handling to foster trust. Horses often take part in light driving sessions on grassy lanes around the property. Foals are raised under attentive care in a family setting with access to shelter and turnout paddocks. The barn offers individual stalls with regular cleaning and ample ventilation to ensure comfort in all seasons, and prospective owners receive guidance on feeding, training and seasonal care to support long-term welfare.
