Perry Cornia

Perry and Candy Cornia are Shire horse breeders in Randolph, Utah, serving Rich County and the Bear Lake region near Logan. Their family farm has welcomed Shire horses for over a decade with both members of the American Shire Horse Association and routine health screenings for soundness. The horses live in open pastures with daily turnout and gradual handling from foaling, so they grow accustomed to grooming, groundwork, and light harness work.

Several Cornia horses carry lineage with national gentle giant competitions and have been recognized for calm dispositions. Visitors note the well-managed barns and the Cornias’ patience when answering questions about feeding, farriery, and seasonal care. Their commitment extends to pasture rotation and natural hoof care, reflecting a holistic approach to equine health. The result is a small but consistent breeding program focused on producing reliable partners for farm work, pleasure driving, and educational opportunities.
