Therese Helein

Therese Helein, Percheron horses, Appleton, WI, is based in the Fox Valley near Green Bay. She has more than ten years of experience breeding Percheron horses registered with the U.S. Percheron Association and follows recommended health testing protocols. She also attends regional fairs and horse expos to remain engaged with the breeding community and exchange best practices.

Her horses graze on pasture and have daily turnout and gentle handling to encourage calm behavior and strong bonding. Daily feeding includes a balanced mix of hay and grain tailored to growth stages, and all horses receive routine farrier care and annual veterinary checkups. Several foals from her program have gone on to therapy programs and light draft work, reflecting careful temperament selection. Clients note her straightforward communication and follow-up support as they introduce these gentle giants to new roles on small farms or in therapeutic settings.
