Joseph Waldrop

Joseph Waldrop and Jessica Waldrop are Shire horse breeders in Batesville, Mississippi, serving northeast Mississippi near Tupelo. They have bred Shire horses for over a decade, participating in the American Shire Horse Association and maintaining health screenings focused on hoof and joint soundness.

The farm’s rolling pastures shaded by live oaks allow horses to graze comfortably through hot summers and mild winters. Broodmares are selected for sound conformation and gentle nature to help foals develop strong frames and calm temperaments. Young stock is introduced to harness work in gradual steps, prioritizing confidence and safety on varied terrain.

Their reputation for gentle handling and steady dispositions makes their horses suited for farm work, show classes or driving demonstrations. They attend county fairs and draft horse exhibitions in the region, and each horse receives balanced nutrition, regular farrier care and socialization with other livestock.
