Rebecca Field

Rebecca Field and James Brainard work with Shire horses in Cornish, Maine, serving York County near Portland. They participate in regional clinics and shows, follow breed guidelines for genetic and health testing, and register each foal with recognized associations. Animals graze on mixed pastures with access to run-in sheds, and their diet includes forage from local farms alongside balanced grain blends. The farm rests on a century-old homestead with rolling fields and stone walls that shelter grazing paddocks.

Early handling, exposure to farm routines, and optional groundwork sessions help young horses develop confidence and a steady mind. Several graduates from their program have joined therapeutic riding centers, reflecting the breeders’ focus on temperament and dependable work ethic. Community reviews often mention their approachable care style and the horses’ steady dispositions. They emphasize long-term partnerships between horse and owner, with open discussion of training needs and potential career paths.
