Ox Kill Farm *

Ox Kill Farm, Shire horse, Schoharie, NY, is based in Schoharie County near Albany. Run by Vicky Mccaffrey, the farm follows breed registry guidelines, with regular health screenings and balanced nutrition. Foals are raised in roomy pastures with early handling and gentle exposure to farm routines to build confidence and amiable temperaments.

Stable routines include regular grooming sessions, early lead walking and exposure to common farm machinery for confident, well-adjusted adults. These horses enjoy daily turnout alongside older horses and benefit from seasonal farrier care and dental checks in on-site or nearby vet visits. Many visitors note the calm environment and trusting bonds that develop between handler and horse over time. Ox Kill Farm also preserves a small orchard and hay meadows, reflecting a commitment to sustainable land stewardship and healthy habitats. Seasonal open days let neighbors observe the horses’ gentle strength and learn about handling, pasture care and draft training in a hands-on setting.
