Jen Lyon

Jen Lyon is a Shire horse breeder in Norco, CA, in Southern California near Los Angeles. She has been raising Shire horses for more than a decade, is a member of the United States Draft Horse Association, and ensures each foal undergoes soundness checks and temperament evaluations.

Her horses graze on irrigated pastureland with round-the-clock access to shelter, and daily handling helps build a trusting bond between handlers and youngsters. Foals begin groundwork sessions at two months, gradually introduced to carriage harnesses and basic lunging to foster confident, versatile partners. Her small family farm has hosted regional draft horse demonstrations and offers occasional open days where visitors can observe the herd’s gentle dynamics. Local trainers often remark on the sturdy build and calm temperament of Lyon’s horses, noting their adaptability in both farm work and recreational driving. Each year she places foals with owners who share her commitment to responsible, humane practices and supports new owners through follow-up consultations.
