Elizabeth Shires

Elizabeth Shires breeds Shire horses in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in southern Colorado. She has worked with these gentle giants for more than a decade and holds membership in the Shire Horse Society of America as well as regional associations. All foals undergo regular soundness evaluations and her breeding stock is examined by a veterinarian before each season, with records maintained for every foal.

The horses spend most days on pasture, where they are introduced to basic groundwork from foalhood. Stalls are cleaned daily and turnout schedules are adjusted according to weather, ensuring healthy coats and sound feet. Visitors often comment on the farm’s calm atmosphere and the well-recorded lineage of each horse.

A focus on gentle handling has led to several offspring showing in local draft horse classes and participating in community therapy programs. Shires in this program consistently demonstrate steady temperaments and solid conformation, reflecting the breeder’s thoughtful approach.
