Troika Drafts

Troika Drafts breeds Shire horses in Hebron, ME, serving Oxford County and western Maine near Lewiston. Under owner Vicki Schmidt, the farm has been raising draft horses since 2011 with registry membership in the American Shire Horse Association, routine health screenings, and conformation evaluations.

Their horses graze on pastureland and receive daily handling from foalhood to build trust and social confidence. Many come from lines valued for calm temperaments suited to carriage work and farm tasks. One long-time owner notes that these horses adapt quickly to new environments and handlers.

The stable emphasizes balanced nutrition, scheduled farrier visits, and regular veterinary checkups to support steady growth and sound hooves. They maintain a small herd to ensure personalized care and consistent handling for each animal. Stalls open onto individual paddocks for daily turnout, and a heated barn offers refuge during winter months.
