Shadowstone Acres

Shadowstone Acres Shire horses in Republic, MO are nestled in Greene County and the Ozarks near Springfield. Jimi Filizetti and Wayne Kmick have spent more than a decade raising Shire horses, supporting breed registry standards and routinely assessing animal health. Their mature farm offers spacious, well-maintained pastures, sheltered barns and daily turnout that encourage natural movement and social bonds among foals and adults. Each horse undergoes regular farrier care, dental checks and nutritional evaluations to support strong hooves and steady growth.

Shadowstone Acres balances traditional draft training with calm handling and a gentle breeding philosophy to prepare horses for farm work, carriage driving and public demonstrations. They maintain detailed lineage records and work closely with veterinarians on routine health screenings. Past foals have gone on to succeed in draft pull competitions and therapeutic farm visits, reflecting the horses’ steady temperament and sound structure.
