Marcia Forsyth

Marcia Forsyth, Shire horses, Menan, ID, has been raising gentle giants in eastern Idaho near Idaho Falls since transitioning her family’s farm to draft breeds. She brings over a decade of experience, maintains registration with the American Shire Horse Society and follows agreed health screening protocols for soundness and temperament.

Her Shire horses thrive in pasture-based herds, enjoy daily handling from foaling onward and become accustomed to farm chores and family life. Marcia’s approach is rooted in her upbringing on generations-old farmland where reliable dispositions and gentle manners were valued above winning ribbons. She regularly offers farm visits to prospective owners, ensuring each horse’s personality and needs align with its future role.

Many of her Shire horses work alongside teamsters at local events and support community projects that highlight their calm strength and versatility. Owners are encouraged to share seasonal updates, reflecting her ongoing support and pride in each horse’s lifelong partnership with its family.
