Mike Ralph

Mike Ralph and Pam Ralph are Shire horse breeders in Grants Pass, OR, in Southern Oregon near Medford. They have been part of the regional equine community for over a decade and hold memberships in state and national Shire horse associations. All breeding stock undergoes regular health screenings and radiographic evaluations to ensure soundness.

Their Shire horses roam rolling pastures and receive daily turnout with opportunities for structured halter training from a young age. Emphasis on early socialization helps develop steady temperaments that suit both driving and light riding. Foaling areas feature custom stalls and soft bedding, allowing mares to rest comfortably under low-stress supervision.

The farm’s multigenerational heritage spans three generations and combines time-tested breeding choices with contemporary welfare practices. Visitors often remark on the horses’ calm presence and steady gaits, and many praise the breeders for sharing practical advice on nutrition and hoof care.
