Their team has maintained registry papers through the American Shire Horse Association for over a decade, ensuring careful health testing, proper lineage documentation and transparent record-keeping.

Animals live on pasture-based paddocks with daily grooming, and gentle handling routines help foals develop calm temperaments and strong social bonds. The facility features well-maintained barns and secure fencing, allowing each horse to move freely and safely. Foals are introduced to haltering and loose-line work early, supporting calm responses under harness or in light riding.

This operation’s seasonal sales bring together local families and enthusiasts for traditions in draft horse stewardship. Many of these Shire horses find roles in carriage driving, light farm work and community heritage demonstrations. A network of local veterinarians and farriers supports regular hoof trimming and veterinary care, contributing to the horses’ overall soundness.
