Brett Hand

Brett Hand, Shire horses, Cornish, ME, nurtures a small herd in southern Maine near Portland. He has been breeding Shire horses for several years, following standards recommended by regional breed associations. Each foal undergoes routine health screenings, while adults enjoy daily turnout, balanced diets, and regular ground work to foster a calm disposition.

The farm’s emphasis on gentle handling makes these Shire horses well suited for driving, farm shows, and therapy programs. Hand’s experience extends to preparing horses for local draft horse demonstrations and community events. Prospective owners describe the horses as gentle, steady partners with strong, patient temperaments. Comfortable stalls under a classic post-and-beam barn offer shelter through winter, and pastures spanning over thirty acres support mixed grass and clover for year-round grazing. Each spring, foaling stalls are set with fresh straw bedding and closely monitored, and the farm practices rotational grazing to maintain pasture health and hoof strength.
