Catherine Van Dellen

Catherine Van Dellen and Jeffrey Van Dellen are Shire horse breeders in Washoe Valley, NV, Sierra Nevada near Reno. They have been breeding Shire horse bloodlines for several years and follow recommended health screenings through regular veterinary examinations. They adhere to guidelines set by national draft horse associations and maintain detailed health records for each animal. Their stock is raised on open pasture with daily handling to foster gentle temperaments and strong work ethic, and they rotate fields to encourage healthy grazing cycles. Feed includes locally sourced hay and a balanced grain mix tailored to draft breeds, accompanied by regular farrier visits and dental checks.

Their operation emphasizes traditional draft horse husbandry and socialization around farm chores. Foals begin gentle groundwork early, preparing them for light harness work or parade appearances. Occasional workshops introduce community members to Shire horse care and management.
