Deborah Jenson

Deborah Jenson, Shire horse breeder, Eagle Creek, OR, Clackamas County and the Willamette Valley near Portland. Jenson has more than ten years of experience and follows industry standards for health testing through recognized registries such as the American Shire Horse Society, ensuring each foal meets strict criteria for conformation and temperament. Her herd grazes on lush pasture with daily rotations through paddocks, promoting natural grazing behavior and daily muscle conditioning, while shaded run-in shelters offer relief in summer.

Foals benefit from early handling, exposure to varied terrain and social groups, which fosters confidence and adaptability for both show rings and farm work. The family farm dates to 2002 and hosts small-scale breed demonstrations for local schools and riding clubs, underscoring a passion for education. Nutrition plans are tailored to each horse’s workload and life stage, and regular farrier and veterinary checks support long term soundness. Breeding decisions prioritize temperament, aiming to produce gentle giants suited to family farms, carriage work and therapy programs.
