Kervin Kirik

Kervin Kirik, Shire horse breeder in Union City, PA, is located in Crawford County and the Lake Erie region near Erie. With more than a decade of experience, he is a member of the Shire Horse Society and follows recommended health screenings for equine infectious anemia and metabolic health. Each horse is raised in a pasture-based setting that encourages social bonds and regular handling.

His farm traces its roots back three generations, preserving traditional draft horse husbandry alongside modern welfare standards. Kervin emphasizes gentle groundwork and daily turnout to support physical and mental well-being. Colts and fillies are introduced to halter training and gentle leading before weaning to promote confidence and ease future handling.

Annual foal inspections and conformation assessments ensure each youngster meets breed standards and receives individualized care.
