Timothy Kriz

Timothy Kriz and Wendy Kriz are breeders of Percheron horses in Bethany, CT, in New England near Hartford. They have been working with draft horses for more than a decade and maintain active membership in national equine associations, with routine health evaluations for all their stock.

Their horses are raised on open pastures with daily turnout, paired with early handling routines that foster calm temperaments and easy training. The farm’s historic stone barn provides sheltered stalls, and the couple emphasizes gentle groundwork before any hitch training. Several of their foals have placed at regional draft horse shows, and a focus on temperament has led to requests for therapy horse placements.

Prospective owners have noted the Krizes’ transparent communication and the horses’ steady dispositions at visited clinics. Their breeding program includes detailed lineage records, with foundations traced to imported French stock dating to the early 20th century. The family-run farm occupies land that once supported apple orchards, preserving old-growth trees as natural shelter along paddock edges.
