Dgs Shires

Dgs Shires is a Shire horse breeder in Collinsville, Oklahoma, northeastern Oklahoma near Tulsa, with more than twenty years of dedicated experience. The farm maintains membership in the American Shire Horse Association and follows comprehensive health testing protocols including regular soundness exams and genetic screening.

Foals are raised in a grass-based herd environment that encourages early socialization and gentle handling from experienced staff. Stallion and mare stalls open onto pasture paddocks, allowing daily turnout to develop muscle tone and natural movement. Young horses undergo in-hand training to introduce basic ground manners and trailer loading skills before they join the brood herd or start light riding.

The farm’s feeding program balances forage with custom grain blends, and a professional farrier attends monthly to maintain strong hooves. Breeding pairs are selected for correct bone structure, sound conformation and calm temperament, reflecting guidelines set by national standards. Several horses from the farm have participated in community demonstrations and local parades, noted for their steady disposition and willingness to perform in public.
