Theresa L. Owens

Theresa L. Owens raises Percheron horses in Elizabeth, WV, within Wirt County and the Appalachian region near Charleston. With over a decade of experience and active membership in the American Percheron Horse Association, she adheres to strict health testing for soundness and temperament. The young stock enjoy pasture turnouts alongside retired brood mares in spacious paddocks, and each foal receives daily handling to build a calm, cooperative nature.

Her farmstead dates to a family tradition of equine stewardship, and several horses have earned working titles at local draft horse demonstrations. Guests often remark on the herd’s even temperament and bright, curious expressions. Attention to balanced nutrition and routine farrier care has lent consistency to training programs and overall welfare. Pasture grasses are supplemented with alfalfa hay and mineral feeds, and mares receive prenatal veterinary checkups to ensure healthy gestation. A quiet, wooded setting on gently rolling terrain offers a low-stress environment for both driving and riding prospects.
