Elise Kilmer

Elise Kilmer breeds Shire horses in Burton, Ohio, serving Geauga County and the Cleveland area. She has been involved with draft horses for several years and follows recognized association guidelines for health testing and documentation.

Her Shire horses live on open pasture with access to barn shelters and daily turnout to encourage natural movement and social interaction. Gentle, hands-on handling from foaling onward helps them adapt to farm tasks or leisure riding with calm temperaments.

The farm’s history as a family-run operation means each horse receives personal attention and consistent positive reinforcement. Owners often note the horses’ steady disposition and willingness to learn in reviews of their early training progress. Nutrition is tailored to support growth and muscle development, with regular hoof care and veterinary assessments. Prospective owners value the emphasis on temperament and readiness for a variety of equestrian activities.
