Caitlyn Norton

Caitlyn Norton, Shire horses, Greenwood, IN, is based in Johnson County and the Indianapolis area. She holds membership in the American Shire Horse Society, attends annual meetings and follows its inspection standards for foals and adult breeding stock, and arranges routine evaluations by local veterinarians.

For more than a decade, she has refined a low-stress handling approach that begins in the paddock at birth and continues through groundwork and basic halter training. Foals are raised on rotational pasture and receive daily handling to build trust and ease future training. The farm layout allows regular turnout in small herds alongside other livestock for natural social development.

A simple barn with well-ventilated stalls, individual paddocks and a dedicated foaling stall supports health monitoring and seasonal shelter. Bloodlines emphasize foundation Shire traits valued for driving, farm work and a calm disposition, with careful selection from long-standing regional lines. Gentle daily routines and early exposure to farm equipment help each horse adapt smoothly to riding or driving environments.
