Karen Mulligan

Karen Mulligan, Shire horse breeder in Earlville, NY, Madison County and the Finger Lakes near Syracuse. She has bred Shire horses for over a decade and holds membership with the American Shire Horse Association, conducting routine health screenings and abiding by conformation standards. She follows strict evaluation of bloodlines, conformation and temperament to foster strength and a gentle demeanor.

All foals receive regular veterinary checks, farrier care and deworming schedules, and they spend early weeks in close human company to support social development. Horses are raised on open pasture with daily turnout and access to a naturally ventilated barn featuring spacious stalls. Owners often remark on the steady temperament and robust health of their horses, noting adaptability to various activities.

Mulligan’s focus on calm dispositions and sound structure supports horses suited for driving, therapy work or pleasure riding. The farm’s hands-on approach and consistent routines help each animal transition smoothly into its next phase.
