Silver Shadows

Silver Shadows, Percheron horses, New Haven, MI, is located in Macomb County and southeastern Michigan near Detroit. With over 15 years of breeding experience, the farm maintains American Percheron Horse Association registration and regular health screenings for all stallions and mares. Each foal is raised in open pastures and introduced to daily handling by multiple caretakers from the first week, fostering gentle temperaments and resilience.

One family noted that their colt arrived calm and adaptable on his first day home. The Hertel family heritage with draft horses stretches back three generations on this property. Breeding stock is selected for steady conformation and willing attitude, reflecting Silver Shadows’ steady approach to nurturing Percheron bloodlines. Foals share space with adult horses and receive supervised turnout alongside mares to encourage social bonds and physical development. All horses are fed a diet of grass hay supplemented with a custom blend of oats and barley to support healthy growth.
