Nelson Harting

Nelson and Cindy Harting are Percheron breeders in Pine Grove, PA, in Schuylkill County and the Coal Region near Reading. They have been breeding Percheron horses for more than a decade, maintaining registration with the American Percheron Horse Association and following recommended health screenings for joint and respiratory conditions. Their farm combines turnout on rolling pastures with daily hands-on care, and each foal is introduced to light handling and farm routines before going to its new home.

With a focus on temperament and structural soundness, several of their Percheron horses have earned ribbons at county fairs and worked in light draft demonstrations. The Hartings emphasize a calm, consistent environment, offering visitors the chance to observe feeding sessions and conditioning workouts in their barn. Their pastures are fenced for safety, and horses are fed a balanced diet of hay, grains and mineral supplements tailored to each stage of growth. Satisfaction from recent owners highlights the breeder’s honest communication and supportive approach through the selection and transition process.
