Jill Barton

Jill Barton, Shire horses, and based in the United States near Lexington, Kentucky, specializes in traditional draft horse breeding. With several years of experience, she follows guidelines set by national registries and ensures each horse undergoes recommended health screenings. Her program emphasizes close handling from birth and social turnout on mixed pastures to encourage balanced development and gentle temperaments.

The farm features spacious stalls, covered arenas and ample paddocks where foals learn basic groundwork before integrating with the adult herd. A recent review noted her horses’ steady gaits and willingness under saddle, attributes she nurtures through consistent daily care. Daily hoof care and seasonal dental checks complement a diet of high-quality hay and balanced concentrates to support sound structure and growth.

Prospective owners regularly observe turnout sessions, meet broodmares and sires, and review foal handling demonstrations in a calm, pasture-based setting.
