Mountain Shire Ranch

Mountain Shire Ranch, Shire horses, Calhan, CO, in the eastern plains near Colorado Springs. It has been breeding quality Shire horses for over 15 years with national registry membership, comprehensive health testing, and a heated foaling stall with round-the-clock monitoring. Owner Rachel Jacobs brings decades of experience in equine nutrition and farriery to every foal crop, ensuring careful dietary planning.

Its farm features spacious pastures and sunlit, climate-controlled stalls where foals are gently introduced to halter training and ground driving. Horses are fed a balanced diet of timothy hay, pasture grasses, and measured grain to support healthy growth. Daily turnout alongside older horses encourages natural social bonds, and all animals receive routine farrier and veterinary attention.

The ranch’s modest herd includes horses that have earned local driving competition ribbons and farm work awards. Visitors often note the ranch’s calm atmosphere and the horses’ even temperaments.
