Landra Sykes

Landra Sykes breeds Shire horses in Lewistown, MT, serving central Montana near Great Falls. With years of experience, she maintains practices in line with registry standards and prioritizes regular veterinary assessments.

Her Shire horse bloodlines are nurtured in pasture-based pastures with ample turnout and daily handling to foster calm temperaments. Foals learn basic groundwork early and grow up alongside other livestock on a small ranch where they gain exposure to equipment and family life. The breeding program emphasizes sound structure and steady disposition, reflecting the gentle giant heritage of the breed.

Routine farrier visits and dental checkups help keep each horse sound from adolescence to maturity. Each foal receives early exposure to basic harness familiarity and obstacle courses to develop confidence and adaptability. Soil conservation and rotational grazing on the ranch contribute to pasture health and support the horses’ well-being year-round.
