Duane Wendt

Duane Wendt and Carol Wendt, Percherons, Elysian, MN, in Le Sueur County and the Twin Cities near Minneapolis. They draw on more than twenty years of experience and belong to the Percheron Horse Association, overseeing routine health screenings, annual reproductive evaluations, and breeding evaluations. All foals are raised in a pasture-based setting with daily handling to support early socialization, gentle manners, and introduction to basic driving cues.

Their foundation stock features bloodlines recognized at regional draft horse shows for sound structure and steady dispositions. The Wendts manage a light-traffic farm where each horse enjoys turnout with peers and consistent access to clean bedding and shelter. Routine hoof trimming, dental care, and nutritional planning are coordinated with local equine professionals to promote balanced growth. Prospective homes often note the horses’ willingness under harness and calm carriage work as a reflection of careful early handling.
