Mary Thies

Mary Thies and Ken Thies breed Percheron horses in Waverly, MN, serving Wright County and central Minnesota near Minneapolis. They are members of the Percheron Horse Association and uphold strict health protocols with regular veterinary screenings, vaccinations, and farrier care.

Foals are raised in pasture-based settings and introduced to daily handling from their first week to encourage calm, trainable temperaments. The farm has been in the Thies family for three generations, blending traditional draft horse husbandry with a focus on adaptability for farm work or light driving. Visitors appreciate the tranquil paddocks and the opportunity to observe young horses learn ground manners and harness routines.

The team’s thoughtful approach reflects a genuine respect for the Percheron heritage and the individual needs of each horse. Prospective owners note the consistency of temperament and conformation among Thies foals, which often excel in farm demonstrations or light pleasure driving.
