Nicole Bartalos

Nicole Bartalos, Percheron breeder, Cameron, MO, serves northwest Missouri near Kansas City. She has been breeding Percheron draft horses for over a decade, with membership in the Percheron Horse Association of America and adherence to national health testing standards. Her Percherons are raised on open pasture with regular turnout, early handling and socialization, and a diet balanced with quality hay and mineral supplements.

A licensed veterinarian and farrier visit regularly to oversee hoof care, vaccinations and nutritional plans, and Nicole draws on a background in agricultural science to refine her breeding strategies and promote long-term soundness. The farm combines a century-old family tradition with selective bloodlines focused on driving, show and farm work. Many horses from her program have placed in regional draft horse shows and performance inspections.

Housing includes well-ventilated barns and custom-built run-in sheds that ensure comfort in all seasons. A local trainer notes their smooth gaits and calm disposition, reflecting consistent daily care.
