Samuel Hertzler

Samuel Hertzler breeds Percheron horses in Charlotte Court House, VA, in Southside Virginia near Richmond. He follows recognized equine health protocols, including regular veterinary evaluations, soundness assessments, vaccination schedules, and nutritional reviews. The breeding program emphasizes calm temperament, suitability for light draft work, and athleticism on the trail.

Horses share a mix of pasture and paddocks, where foals receive daily handling that fosters early socialization, and adults live in small herds to encourage social bonds and reduce stress. The farm’s quiet setting encourages calm training and integrates natural grazing rotations to maintain optimal wellbeing. Foals undergo basic halter training and are gently introduced to farm sights and sounds to build confidence.

Samuel works closely with local equine professionals for farriery and nutritional consultations to support each horse’s development. Detailed records accompany each horse with pedigree information, health tests, and notes on early temperament.
