Melissa Lee

Melissa Lee, Shire horse breeder in Vancouver, WA, Clark County and the Pacific Northwest near Portland, nurtures gentle giants. She has served members of the Shire Horse Society for over a decade and ensures that each horse receives annual veterinary exams, vaccinations and farrier care. Horses live on pasture with twenty-four-hour access to shelter, and foals are handled daily to build confidence and ease future training.

Her small family farm combines traditional draft horse husbandry with modern welfare practices, and she collaborates with a nearby heritage farm to share breed history. Melissa Lee’s breeding choices emphasize sound bone structure and a willing temperament, rooted in her belief that reliable workhorses enrich both farm life and community traditions. Visitors often praise her foals’ gentle nature and strong conformation, a reflection of her selective pairing process and early handling routines.

Each foal comes with comprehensive records documenting lineage, veterinary history and early developmental milestones.
