Kirsten Thomas DVM

Kirsten Thomas DVM, Shire horses, Toledo, OH, runs a farm in Lucas County and the Great Lakes region near Detroit. She has been breeding draft horses for over a decade and maintains membership in national draft horse associations while following recommended health screening protocols. Her barn features deeply bedded stalls and year-round access to grazing paddocks that encourage healthy development. Regular veterinary exams complement seasonal farrier care and tailored nutrition plans to support sound musculoskeletal growth.

Foals are raised with daily handling to promote calm temperaments and social confidence around both people and other animals. As a veterinarian, she monitors growth closely and her foals often exhibit solid confirmation and a steady disposition suited to driving or farm work. A local equine therapist has noted their sturdy legs and even temper in therapy settings. Winter shelter includes heated waterers and insulated run-in sheds to ensure comfort in colder months.
