Northeast Shires

Northeast Shires Shire horses in Pine Grove, PA, are raised on a quiet family farm in Schuylkill County near Allentown. Founded several years ago, Northeast Shires combines modern care practices with respect for traditional draft horse qualities.

Owner Noah Holden, who has bred Shires for over a decade, holds membership in national Shire horse associations and follows recommended health testing to support robust foal development. Foals are handled daily from birth and spend ample time in pasture-based training to encourage steady temperaments and social confidence. Stallions and mares live in spacious paddocks with regular human interaction to foster confidence and gentleness.

The compact herd size remains small to ensure personalized attention to balanced nutrition and routine health checks. Bloodlines emphasize balanced strength suited for light draft work and educational farm visits. Guests often remark on the herd’s calm demeanors and responsive training through hands-on experiences.
