Judith Watland

Judith Watland and David Tews are Shire horse breeders in Horseshoe Bend, AR, in the Ozark Mountains near Mountain Home. They follow recognized breed registry guidelines and ensure routine health screenings for all mares and stallions before any breeding.

Foals are raised on spacious pastures with daily turnout and gentle handling to promote confident, well-adjusted adults. Their farm sits along the White River, providing a scenic backdrop for interactive grooming and early training sessions. One longtime client observes that each foal matures with balanced conformation and a naturally calm disposition.

They maintain membership in national equine associations and attend regional fairs to gather feedback and stay abreast of best practices. Their commitment to selective breeding aims to preserve the Shire horse’s historic qualities, focusing on sturdy limbs and an even temperament. The duo combines seven years of hands-on experience in draft horse care and training.
