Shayla Shipley

Shayla Shipley breeds Shire horses in Cameron, MO, northwest Missouri near Kansas City. She has spent several years working with this draft breed, developing a program centered on sound conformation and reliable health care, including routine veterinary checkups and regular hoof care.

Her horses benefit from daily pasture turnout and gentle handling to build confidence and strengthen social bonds. Shayla maintains small groups to ensure each horse receives individual attention and early training under saddle as they mature. The farm setting includes varied terrain for turnout, helping horses adapt to different footing and develop balanced muscles. She selects breeding pairs based on pedigree and temperament, aiming for offspring that blend draft strength with a gentle demeanor. A sheltered barn and adjoining turnout paddocks provide protection from weather, allowing horses to move freely throughout the year. Many local owners note the calm disposition of Shipley’s foals and the thorough growth updates as they mature.
