Rick Thomas

Rick and Penny Thomas raise Percheron horses in Marengo, OH, located in Madison County and the Columbus area. They have been breeding draft horses for over a decade and hold memberships in the American Percheron Horse Association.

Foals and adults receive routine veterinary care, vaccinations, deworming, hoof trimming and tailored nutrition plans to support long-term soundness. Horses live in pasture-based herds where they learn ground manners and build muscle through daily turnout. The farm’s approach focuses on calm handling and consistent routines, helping horses transition smoothly into farm work or pleasure driving.

Several of their Percherons have earned ribbons at regional draft horse shows, reflecting steady progress and a growing reputation within the local equine community. They practice rotational grazing on about fifty acres, ensuring fresh forage and healthy pastures year-round. Visitors can tour facilities to learn about Percheron care.
