Loren Austin

Loren Austin is a Shire horse breeder in Hamburg, AR, in Ashley County and the Arkansas Delta near Pine Bluff. The operation has years of experience, is a member of respected draft horse associations, and ensures all horses undergo standard veterinary screenings.

Foals are raised in pasture based settings with daily handling from birth, supporting calm temperaments and early socialization. Stallions and mares share spacious barns and turnout areas designed for natural movement and herd interactions. Each mare and stallion undergoes detailed pre breeding evaluations, including joint X rays and regular dental exams to support long term soundness. A customized diet of forage, grain mixes, and mineral supplements is formulated for each horse by consulting equine nutrition guidelines.

Several of the farm’s horses have earned ribbons at local draft horse shows, reflecting consistent quality in conformation and demeanor. Customers note the breeder’s patient approach and clear guidance on care routines.
