Ryan Devens is a Shire horse breeder in Santa Clarita, CA, serving Los Angeles County near Los Angeles. He has been working with Shire horses for more than a decade and his horses are registered with the American Shire Horse Society.

Genetic health testing and careful mate selection guide his approach to maintain sound feet and strong bone density in each foal. Horses are raised on pasture with daily turnout, early handling and exposure to varied terrain to build confidence and steady temperaments. Many local riders praise their gentle strength and willingness to learn, making them well suited to light draft work or recreational trail rides.

Raised on the same family-owned property since the late 1990s, each foal receives basic groundwork training before joining the herd. Routine veterinary checkups and vaccination schedules support long-term health and sound development in each horse. Access to an on-site round pen and farrier services ensures early hoof care and balanced muscle development.
