Russ Thompson

Russ Thompson is a Shire horse breeder in Riverton, Utah, in Salt Lake County and the Wasatch Front near Salt Lake City. For over fifteen years he has focused on maintaining bloodlines that meet national registry standards and undergo annual health screenings including hoof, dental, and genetic evaluations. His farm features spacious stalls, grassy paddocks, and indoor arenas where foals and mares receive daily turnout and gentle handling from weaning onward.

Russ’s approach balances traditional draft horse training with positive socialization, allowing these gentle giants to become reliable partners for light farm work and driving events. Attention to proper nutrition and a consistent farrier schedule ensures balanced growth and sound movement in every colt and filly raised on the ranch.

Several of his Shires have earned ribbons at local county fairs for conformation and team pulling classes. Clients appreciate his straightforward communication and detailed guidance on stable management, reflecting a genuine commitment to each horse’s well-being.
