Tradewinds

Tradewinds Percheron horses, Lakeview, MI, in northern Michigan near Grand Rapids, are bred by Tyrel Frey and Amy Frey. They have several years of experience, maintain memberships in national and regional Percheron associations, and ensure all breeding stock undergoes regular health screenings. Foals are raised in a pasture-based setting with daily turnout and early handling to foster confidence and social skills.

The farm blends traditional Percheron breeding techniques with modern care practices, focusing on balanced conformation and a calm disposition. Several horses from their program have earned recognition in local draft horse shows and driving classes for their willingness to work and friendly nature. They maintain a small, family-run operation that values personal attention at every stage of development.

Their broodmares trace back to proven Percheron lines, and several offspring have placed in state-level draft horse trials. Careful selection for temperament and structural soundness guides each pairing, reflecting a commitment to the breed’s heritage and working ability.
