Pugh Ranch

Pugh Ranch is a Shire horse breeder in Riverton, UT, in Salt Lake County near Salt Lake City. Founded by Sandra Pugh, it participates in national equine registries and upholds routine health testing for its herd.

Foals are raised in pasture-based environments and handled daily to encourage calm temperaments and social confidence.

By focusing on temperament and structural soundness, Pugh Ranch aims to produce Shire horses suited for both light draft work and recreational riding. Horses from Pugh Ranch have appeared at regional draft horse gatherings, reflecting the ranch’s steady presence in local equine circles.
