Carolyn Decker

Carolyn Decker, Shire horse breeder in Beatty, OR, serves Malheur County and the high desert near Boise. She has been raising sturdy draft horses for over a decade with membership in regional equine associations and emphasis on genetic soundness.

Her Shire horses are raised in pasture-based systems that allow daily turnout, gradual handling from foalhood, and regular farrier and veterinary checks. Many have gone on to farm and forestry work, reflecting her focus on temperament and physical resilience. Clients value the calm temperament and willingness to learn that characterize her horses.

The barn and paddocks are designed to promote social interaction, with group shelters and slow feeders to support digestive health. Prospective owners note clear communication and detailed foal reports before delivery. Her small-scale operation lets her invest personal attention in each horse’s early training and acclimation to diverse farm tasks.
