Darien Tobin

Darien Tobin, Shire horses, Moncks Corner, SC, in the Lowcountry near Charleston, cares for a small family herd. Tobin has more than ten years of experience and holds membership in the International Shire Horse Society, with routine health screenings for soundness. Health protocols include DNA typing for coat color and structural evaluations at each growth stage. Colts and fillies spend early weeks underfoot in a pasture-based system that promotes gentle handling and exposure to daily farm rhythms.

Bloodlines trace to farm champions in the Midwest, and foals receive individual grooming and ground training before weaning. Tobin welcomes veterinarian reviews of each foal during its first year to maintain detailed breeding records. The barn features open stalls and paddocks with shelters, allowing regular turnout and social interaction among horses. Visitors note the calm temperaments and sturdy bone structure typical of the breed as raised by Tobin.
