Dago Creek Ranch

Dago Creek Ranch raises Shire horses in Philo, CA, in Mendocino County and the Anderson Valley near Ukiah. They follow recommended veterinary screenings, comprehensive breed guidelines and health evaluations to support the long-term well-being of their draft horses and register each foal for future lineage tracking.

Their Shire horses graze on open pasture under shaded oaks and receive daily handling to encourage calm, social temperaments. Michael Holmberg and Ann Siri use family farming traditions to nurture strong work ethic and gentle manners in each animal. This approach has earned referrals from local equestrian enthusiasts who value consistency in temperament, soundness and suitability for light draft work.

Owners often praise the ranch’s commitment to regular farrier and dental care as part of comprehensive husbandry practices. Visitors note clean stalls, tidy fencing and a peaceful atmosphere that reflects the breeders’ dedication to animal welfare.
