Patrick Shea

Patrick Shea and Shannon Shea, Percheron breeders in Kenyon, MN, work within Goodhue County and Southeastern Minnesota near Rochester. They have been raising Percherons for several years, hold membership in the Percheron Horse Association, and follow a routine of regular veterinary and farrier evaluations.

The horses live on pasture with access to barn shelters, and the Sheas emphasize daily handling from foaling through training to foster a calm, steady temperament. Their facility includes open fields for turnout and a shaded barn aisle for grooming and groundwork sessions. Several of their foals have progressed into farm-driving programs and local draft horse exhibitions, reflecting consistent growth and adaptability. Both owners believe in matching each horse to the right home, sharing honest feedback about strengths and considerations for new handlers. Guests visiting their farm note the clean barns and friendly atmosphere that underscore the Sheas’ approach to animal welfare.
