Heather Emslie, Shire horses, Bethlehem, New Hampshire, Grafton County and the White Mountains near Littleton. She has over a decade of experience breeding gentle Shire horses, is an active member of the American Shire Horse Association, and follows breed-appropriate health testing protocols for all breeding stock. The herd thrives on rotationally grazed pastures set among oak-shaded paddocks, and foals receive consistent daily handling from birth through initial training to support early socialization.

Her farm regularly hosts farriers and veterinarians for routine care, reflecting a transparent approach to equine welfare and an open-door policy for prospective owners to observe daily practices. Several home-raised foals have progressed to local draft demonstrations and draft horse competitions, showcasing their steady temperament and draft strength across varied tasks. Owners appreciate comprehensive foal progress reports, photo updates, and open communication about nutrition and management throughout each stage of development.
