Jessica Graves

Jessica Graves breeds Shire horses in Minden, NV, Douglas County and the Carson Valley near Carson City. She has over fifteen years of experience and holds membership in the American Shire Horse Association. Her horses undergo regular veterinary checkups including equine infectious anemia testing and routine dental care and are raised on rotational grazing pastures with daily turnout. Foals begin gentle handling soon after birth to encourage calm temperaments and lifelong social learning.

The farm sits on historic family land that has supported draft breeds for generations and offers seasonal farm visits to observe training sessions. Consistent feedback notes the animals’ even temperament and solid confirmation under saddle. Nutritional plans are tailored with locally sourced hay and mineral supplements under guidance from an equine nutritionist. A well-ventilated barn offers shelter during winter and shaded runs protect horses from summer heat.
