Nathan Strandell

Nathan Strandell raises Percheron horses in Viroqua, WI, Vernon County and the Driftless Area near La Crosse. He has been breeding Percherons for several years, carefully selecting bloodlines for temperament and durability, and maintains registration with national breed associations along with routine health screenings, comprehensive record-keeping and pedigree verification.

The horses live on open pasture most of the year and receive daily handling to build gentle temperaments and social confidence. Drawing on a family farm tradition, he emphasizes sturdy conformation, crisp gaits and balanced hooves suited for light draft work. Visitors note the calm demeanor of the horses and the open barn visits that reinforce trust and clear communication.

His stable aims to preserve the breed’s heritage while offering companions for farm life and competitive trails. Beyond breeding, he collaborates with farriers and trainers to introduce each foal to groundwork exercises and build foundational strength.
