Thunder Valley Shires

Thunder Valley Shires, Shire horses, Batesville, MS, Panola County and the Mississippi Delta near Memphis.
Jessica Waldrop has been raising shires for over a decade with memberships in the American Shire Horse Society, ongoing partnerships with local veterinarians and a commitment to thorough health testing.

The horses graze on rotational pasture and sheltered paddocks, receiving daily handling that nurtures calm temperaments and strong bonds with people. Several of their stock have earned honors at regional draft horse shows, reflecting consistent conformation and disposition. Warm stabling, nutritional support, routine veterinary care and early socialization are hallmarks of their breeding philosophy. Each young horse undergoes early evaluation to ensure structural soundness, balanced gaits and a steady disposition. A dedicated farrier visits biweekly to maintain optimal hoof health and correct shoeing when needed.

The family-operated farm opened on generations-old land in northern Mississippi with a history of draft horse care.
