Joanne Myers

Joanne Myers, Shire horses, Shiloh, OH, raises gentle draft horses in Richland County and the Mansfield area near Cleveland. She has bred Shire horses for over fifteen years, holds membership with the American Shire Horse Society, and maintains comprehensive health testing records. Each horse lives on rotational grazing pastures, receives daily handling to build a calm disposition, and enjoys seasonal farrier visits along with routine veterinary checkups.

The farm emphasizes natural movement and social structure, allowing foals to develop alongside adult horses in spacious paddocks that mirror open-range conditions. This multigenerational operation incorporates selective linebreeding aimed at reinforcing the breed’s hallmark strength and gentle nature, reflected in performance demonstrations at regional fairs.

Visitors often describe the horses as remarkably steady and responsive, noting their suitability for both driving and therapeutic programs in community settings. Quiet country roads and shaded turnout areas create an environment where each horse thrives under attentive care and consistent training routines throughout the year.
