Peggy Mosher

Peggy Mosher is a breeder of Shire horses in Prophetstown, IL, in northwestern Illinois near Davenport. She has bred Shire horses for many years and supports recognized equine associations while following recommended health testing and registry protocols. Foals are handled early and socialized in a calm, pasture-based environment to support their development.

Her care philosophy emphasizes gentle handling, consistent routines and balanced nutrition, with each horse enjoying regular turnout and shaded paddocks. All young horses receive routine veterinarian checks and hoof trimming as they grow. These gentle giants often appear at local agricultural fairs and educational visits, demonstrating their calm temperament and strength. Broodmares and stallions live in small family groups with a feeding plan that focuses on high-quality forage supplemented as needed, encouraging natural herd dynamics. The farm layout features spacious paddocks with run-in shelters, allowing horses to choose shelter or pasture according to the weather.
