New England Shire Centre

New England Shire Centre breeds Shire horses in Ocala, FL, in Marion County near Gainesville. Carl Moulton has spent over two decades dedicated to preserving the breed’s gentle temperament and strength through careful selection and annual health screenings with national equine associations. Foals grow up in pasture-based herds with regular human interaction, ensuring they are accustomed to handling from an early age.

The farm’s climate-adapted pastures provide space for turnout year-round, and stables are cleaned twice daily to maintain comfort and hygiene. New England Shire Centre has welcomed visitors for educational tours and supports a network of local trainers who respect the horses’ well-being. Attention to proper nutrition and farrier care helps produce animals suited for driving, farm work, or family shows. They have produced multiple state fair champions and a reputation for calm, reliable horses suited to therapeutic riding programs.
