Denae Ann Kohler

Denae Ann Kohler is a Shire horse breeder in Walnut Cove, NC, Stokes County and the Yadkin Valley near Winston-Salem. She has been raising draft horses for several years, holds registrations with major breed associations and follows health-testing protocols to support sound development. Each foal receives daily handling, turnout in diversified, rolling fenced pastures and early exposure to basic ground training for a calm temperament.

Her farm combines traditional husbandry with an emphasis on gentle introductions to farm routines, quietly preparing horses for riding or light draft work. Prospective owners praise her clear communication and care in matching horses to lifestyles, noting solid conformation and steady dispositions in her stock. Horses are pasture-raised year-round with access to run-in sheds and spring-fed water sources. Visits are welcome by appointment, allowing visitors to meet young stock and tour the barn and paddocks.
