Kaleigh Applegarth

Kaleigh Applegarth, Shire horse breeder in Lakeview, OR, operates in Lake County and the Oregon high desert near Bend. With over a decade of experience, she is a member of the American Shire Horse Association and ensures regular health screening, including hoof evaluations and veterinary exams for all breeding stock.

Each foal is raised on pastureland at her family-run farm, with daily handling that promotes calm temperaments and early socialization. Applegarth’s farm has been in the family for two generations, blending practical horsemanship with rotational grazing and sustainable forage practices. Colts and fillies begin groundwork within their first weeks to develop confidence and responsiveness, reflecting her belief in gentle, consistent training.

Prospective owners appreciate the even-headed nature of her horses and the detailed care that goes into sound conformation and steady temperaments. All horses depart with up-to-date Coggins tests and health certificates, and adult mares receive training in ground manners before moving to new homes.
