Denis Boncek

Denis Boncek is a Shire horse breeder in Owego, NY in the Southern Tier near Binghamton. He has been breeding Shire horses for over a decade, holds membership in the American Shire Horse Association, and follows routine health screening for soundness and temperament. His foals are handled daily from birth, with turnout in spacious pastures and consistent socialization alongside older horses.

Training emphasizes low-stress groundwork before riding, and many clients appreciate their calm nature under saddle or in harness. The horses live on fifty acres of mixed pasture and wooded paddocks, with nutrient-balanced forage and grain blends in partnership with a local nutritionist. A nearby veterinarian provides annual vaccinations, dental care, and routine health audits. An indoor arena allows year-round groundwork and light riding, supported by regular farrier visits to maintain hoof health. The farm’s generations-long focus on conformation and gentle temperament has built a reputation for dependable farm and driving partners.
