Anna Kovina

Anna Kovina raises Shire horses in Richmond, VA, located in Central Virginia near Charlottesville. She follows industry-standard health screenings ranging from soundness exams to routine vaccinations, and collaborates with registered equine associations to promote sound breeding and genetic diversity. Her farm is designed for daily turnout on pasture, and foals are socialized from a young age through gentle handling by experienced staff.

Kovina’s approach emphasizes temperament and conformation, with offspring excelling in both driving and therapeutic riding programs. Visitors to the property can see horses acclimated to varied terrain and observe barn routines that prioritize comfort and mental well-being.

Many of her horses have continued on to work in historical reenactments or community equine therapy, reflecting a longstanding commitment to quality and care. Visits to the stables include time with the horses and a review of their pedigrees to ensure a good fit for both the new owner and the horse.
