Winter Hill

Winter Hill Percheron horses in Hebron, CT, are raised in Tolland County in the Connecticut River Valley near Hartford. Peter Saglio and Nancy Saglio maintain rigorous health testing for every foal and uphold full membership in recognized equine associations.

Their Percheron mares and stallions live on rotational pasture with easy access to shelter, and each foal receives daily handling from weaning onward to encourage steady social development. The breeders follow a hands-on approach that combines patient groundwork with gentle exposure to carriage harnesses, resulting in calm, willing horses adaptable to farm work or recreational driving.

Winter Hill places emphasis on sound conformation and solid hooves, scheduling regular farrier visits alongside veterinary wellness checks. With a focus on long-term wellness, the farm’s Percherons are bred to known pedigrees and released into homes where their steady temperament is valued. Prospective owners appreciate the Saglios’ detailed guidance on nutrition and conditioning.
