John Kelly

John Kelly breeds Shire horses in Woodbridge, VA, in Northern Virginia near Washington, D.C. With more than a decade of experience, he is a member of the American Shire Horse Association and follows established health screening protocols for hooves, joints, and respiratory health.

His herd lives in open pastures with access to clean water sources and shade throughout the day. Daily handling sessions focus on early socialization and ground manners under guidance of a professional trainer. Routine farrier visits and annual veterinary exams help maintain strong hooves and overall soundness.

Foals grow up alongside mature companions and learn to pull light carts on well graded footing. The farm sits on 50 acres of rolling fields with rotational grazing practices to promote healthy pastures and varied forage. Prospective owners often comment on the horses steady dispositions, sturdy frames, and gentle responses to in hand cues.
