I LOVE shires and have been pleading mom and dad ever since I can remember. If I got a shire mare I would have definatly stud her to Ideal. I have a strong feeling though that once I graduate I'm going to own a shire ranch!

Anyway, I LOVE your website, and it has tought me a lot about the horse I love. Bye and thanks for listening.

Excellent site! I now own "Rosie" the Clyde mare that I've wanted ever since talking to Christine about her over 2 years ago. She had sold her but I found her and bought her. She's doing great up here in Canada and takes people for rides in our 1906 Democrat carriage. You can see her on my website dressed in her finest under "Our Wedding Girl" link!

First of all CONGRATULATIONS on Gracie's recognition from Breyer, it just shows the world what you knew all along.That she is a true example of what a shire should be. I want to thank you and your farm for the wounderfull work and love that you put into this breed. The shire is in a class of thier own and the phrase "gentle giant" comes right along with that. As a past rider and lover of this breed at Iron Slipper Farms I learned that this breed not only a passion but a way of living. Your site truley brings the breed its recognition in this world. Not only that but with the new introduction of the gypsy pony and the drum horses, I feel that the shire breed as a whole has a new and extremley bright future ahead of them all...Thank You once again for your davotion and love for this great breed.

Hi! My name is Hanna and i am 11 y/o. Turning 12 in July. I would do anything for a horse! I have been riding since i was 1. I love shires they are my favorite breed! But my family has no money for a horse. Or for riding lessons. I really wish i could have at least one Shire. Or at least have one named after me. That would be awsome. That is one of my life dreams, to raise Shires. But sadly i wont be able to even have a Shire until i can make enough money by myself :(:(:( Thank*You for listening! Love Always *Hanna*

Thank you for gracing the internet with such an informative site. There aren't many members of the beautiful, rare draft breeds in this area and the wonderful photographs on your website are a blessing. I know that with breeders like you around, I'll one day get to experience the majesty of a well-bred Shire. :]

Ideal is beautful, and so is warrior, someday i wish to own a draft. Thanks for the opportunity to get to know the breed and the info on the shires.Its hard to find a good site with lots of info and easy to get around.....thanks.

Hello, I'm not sure if I can thank you for this! I now realize that my days as an exclusively small horse owner are very numbered indeed. I have long wondered which draft breed it is that has most stolen my heart, and after admiring the innumerable merits of Gracie and Ideal, I've soundly become a member of the Shire horse community, at least in my heart. Someday, I hope one of your beautiful horses will grace my life!

Deal is the most amazing creature I've ever seen! I used to own a 3/4 black percheron, and since I've gone back to school, I had to sell him. I always thought I would get a Freisian once I'm finished, but your Deal has made me realize that maybe a Shire would be most suited to my dreams!

This is a great website. I have been looking for some good information on AI for my Shire horses and I found it here. Also, I agree with you 100% about docking tails and using Scotch Bottom Shoes, I refuse to use the Scotch Bottom shoes when showing my Shires and for the exact same reasons as you described. Keep up the good work.

I have been looking around to find one that I want. I do believe they are the gentle giants. Keep up the good work with your web site.

Just wanted to check out this site - It's GREAT! Anyone know of a breeding school in Colorado? If so, I'd like to attend. Please e-mail me and let me know. I am designing a webpage in memory of "Badger" my English Shire, who died on January 23rd 2003 in Kent, UK. Unfortunately I was not able to say goodbye to him. So, once my page is up and running, I will let you know of the address. Thank you all you horse lovers... Amy.

I have recently come across a picture of my great-great grandfather in Danville, Ill with a horse that was refered to as a shire. He was well-known for his horses and sold them to the circus' on their way north in the summer. His family came here in 1851 from Tempsford Bedfordshire, Eng. and brought breeding stock with them. The picture was taken around 1900 or maybe earlier. His horse was "Anchor".

Hello my name is Michelle and ive just wanted to say that I love you site its one of my favorites due to the fact that i absolutely love horses. Ive always wanted one, but unfortunately my parents just wont let me have on, I think its because we cant really afford one, Ive always especially wanted a Shire or a Clydesdale but I probably wont be able to get one until Iam living on my own. I have a dream to one day live out in the country and own a ranch, and i plan on making this come true no matter how long it takes me, but iam determined to get a horse of my own also very soon. Iam always riding my best friends horses and i absolutely love it, and i know that I would take absolutely great care of it. i love all animals but horses mostly. Its usually on my Christmas list each year to one day get a horse (a mare perferably) but while iam living with my parents I dont think it would happen. I think you have the most beautiful shires that i have ever seen and i can tell that you take great care of then and love then very much. Gracie and Heidi are my two favorite ones because my favorite color of a horse is dapple grey , I think that Grey horses are just absolutely beautiful. But as for Heidi she has beautiful marking and is just such a pretty color. Well thank you for creating this site because when iam down or sad I always go to this site and it just really puts a smile on my face!!!!! Sincerely, Michelle Marion

I enjoyed looking at your horse picures and just your ranch alone. Have Fun!

these are truly nice horses.it looks like you have kept the breed true and pure and not messed around with the blood lines.like so many people are doing today making a breed of horse something that it was not meant to be or made to be,which angers me. i wish to on day own a quarter horse/shire or percheron cross some day. truly awesome horses i think.

I've been visiting your site often due to my fondness of and interest in Gypsy horses. Thanks to your site you just earner yourself a new customer although it won't be for approx two years (I'm a housewife who is now going back to work just to afford two nice Gypsy mares in about two years). You will be who I come to when I'm ready. All the horses you display are just breathtaking and I couldn't be more impressed with the show and breeding stands you openly take. I will be very proud to become another one of your happily impressed customers.

I was wondering, how can I know, where the horses on studbook are from? I mean, it's obvious, that horses, which are registered to ASHA, are from America, and horses on CSHA are from Canada, right? And then SHS is from Great Britain? But when horse is registered on every those books, is SHS the first place and the country of the birth? Pleased for anser, thanks!

I live near Gloucester"shire" It was named after the earl Robert Gloucester rode a shire horse into town and robbed the local bank in 1678. Although Robert managed to get the money from the bank having a horse far slower than the chasing pack meant that he was caught very quickly. He was be-headed on the site that is now Gloucestershire abbey. An interesting fact i thought i would share with you.

I'm so glad I found your site. I know I will never be able to afford one, but the next time I am in the Springs (my brother lives there) I'd sure like to come for a visit. I can certainly tell that you have a zest for life. Enjoy.

I am in love. I have always loved horses but the Gypsy horses are without a doubt, the most beautiful I have ever seen. Its the best of both worlds, the beauty and elegance of the Shire and the beautiful coloration of the paint/pinto. I know I will never be able to afford one but if I could have anything I ever wantet, it would be a Gypsy.

Hello my name is Carleen. I use to have a 1/2 Percheron Mare and she was the best rideing horse I have ever sat. I miss her very much.I have allways loved Drafts all my life, probably because my grandfathers horse was 3/4 Draft and he was the first horse I was ever around. I am also an Appy. lover. Presently I am looking for a Draft Stud for her. You have the most impressive Web Page I have ever seen. The Gypsys are my favorite. I would be honored if we could become aquainted. Possible even do a little buisness. I'm sure you folks are very buisy, but if you can find the time, please drop me a line at poniesinherhair@msn.com

Hi, I just surfed here looking for pics of black horses to send to my friend in Malaysia (which is a Chinese speaking country, along with Maylay). It was the Chinese New Year a couple of days ago on Tuesday 12 Feb. 02 (and Mardi Gras as well as Lincoln's B-Day). It is now the Chinese "Year of the Black Horse". I liked your site although I'm not much of a horse fan. I will pass it along to my bass player and former keyboard player who are "horse people" as I call them. They ride for a volunteer horse posse here in Northern Minnesota (Marshall County Sherriff's Mounted Posse) and they help out with search and rescue as well as body recovery searches too. Anyway, I am bookmarking your site as I really liked the jousting section. Thanks and keep up the good work.

I commend you for keeping your horses natural. It is heartbreaking some of the things people do do their beloved companions all in the name of competion. I can't wait for the day when the judges see the natural horses for what they are...the real thing. Thanks!

I have loved Shires ever sence I was little. I remember going with my unckle to the rodios in Rosevelt Utah and seeing his shires perform in the horse pulling event. I love Gracie and Ideal. Those two could be to horses what Adam and Eve are to "men". Thank you for sharing what you love with us.

Nice website!We have a 15yr.Shire mare.Hoping to breed her to an Andalucian(any input on this would be appreciated as we haven't seen that cross mentioned)Next breeding will be to a Mamoth Jack and then after that, if all goes well with her, to a Shire.

Such gorgeous creatures! I spent two hours today cruising your site and loved that Troika Drafts were in Maine, my state! I have always adored the heavy horses, though the two equines I currently own are a driving pony and a mini stallion. :) Your horses and your site are beautiful; keep up the great work! I saved your site to my faves so I can see all the new foals! :):)

I absolutely love the U-Turn photo of Jeff anf Polly, its fantastic. All I wanted to say was that i love your site and im now very much in love with your horses!

Just writing to say that your website is really cool and so are shires! I think all your horses are really beautiful, especially Gracie and Ideal! At the moment I have a 13.2hh black fell mare called Kerbeck Night Mystery and someday hope to get a black shire mare at least half as pretty as Gracie, but about the same height.

I have 6 of them, 2 English Imported mares (1 imported in foal, producing Australia's only grey Shire stallion) I looked at Earnshaw Ideal when he was at Peterborough as a youngster. He is a very fine horse. Good to see others enjoying their Shires.

I must make you a compliment with your horses. Especialy your mare Gracie, she is realy nice. We are breeding Shire horses in Holland and in the mare class we became first wit our 6 year old mare Grovemare Sally ( out of Trumpcard ) at the last Dutch Championship two weeks ago. She has the same looks as Gracie also very big but elegant. Nice to speak with you. Greetings Edwin and Marion van Leeuwen

This is one of the best sites I've found. I've love horses in general for a long time but I've especially been fond of shires. Being in Mexico does have some disadvantages though since I can't really be around horses much so if you have any good horse websites that I can go to or if you have any info I can have please write me. Oh and how much would a good sized Morgan cost?

Skotselv, Buskerud Norway - September 16, 2001 at 07:04:31

They are all so beautiful. I am in love with Shire horses. I have a 23yr old Morgan now. His name is Knight. He looks like a mini Shire. I have owned him for a year. He is my first. I think I will be retireing him this year. He knows dressage, hunt seat, driving and we tried so team penning but he didn't like that very much so we are just sticking to trails. I am also starting to see symptoms of Cushings disease which apparently is prominent in older Morgans but I refuse to sell him. He has changed owners on an average of every 3 yrs he has done his service teaching everyone else to ride now he can just retire and take it easy with me until his day comes. I don't have a lot of experience with Draft horses but I am so taken with their grace and beauty. Do you recommend any websites or any good books that I may read to learn more about them BEFORE I start spending time with people that own them and getting more of a "hands on" education? Also are their any diseases Shire horses are more prone to getting than other horses? That's all for now. I have your website bookmarked. Thanks! Karen

I own a 5 yr. old Shire. He's a bay with 4 white socks and plenty of feathers, long dark mane, white blaze and his tail goes all the way down to the ground. He's a very impressive animal and very gentle. I've trained him in western but I would like to find out more about the old ways that these horses were use back in the Midevil times. Out here, there isn't any info. can you e-mail me back. I'm looking first for a period saddle, halter and maybe some other things to dress him up including an outfit for myself for parades and shows. If you can help, please do. Thank You, Mike Lombardo

I enjoyed your web site. I lost my two beloved OES, both in the past year & a half. One was 14 years old, and he had a large tumor that had compressed his spinal column, resulting in paralysis. The 2nd was my little Molly, 10 years old, who developed osteocarcoma and had to be put to sleep last week. I miss them so much. And seeing all the puppies on your site, with all the pictures, was great. I want to be added to your waiting list so that, if I do not find a puppy in the meantime, I will be eligible for one of Willie's next puppies. Thank you for your website -- it picked up my very low spirits. OES's are the best dogs ever!

My name is Lucienne and I live in Holland. I own a five years shire-gelding, named Ros van Ooit. The breeder is "Het land van Ooit" in Holland, so he is a real Dutch Shire-horse. His father is Middleton Monarch. I'd like to tell all the visitors of this site that we have in Holland a dutch shire-horse society. They organize each year a real shire-horse show in Holland. Interested? Call Peter Markus 0165-379317. I very much enjoyed visiting this great site!!!!

Hi!! I´m doing an homepage about our riding club and our horses, i also have an discussion board where you can ask about horses that you wonder about. Maybe your favourite horse has been sold to Sweden and you want to ask if anyone has seen him/her?? I have written to all riding clubs in SWEDEN so they know about this site and maybe someone recognize your horse. Just visit my site and press the button Efterlysningar and post your wanted horse. Maybe you want to look at our horses at the club?? We have many horses imported from Ireland, most of them actually. Press the button Hamre ridskola and then Lektionshästar or Gamla Lektionshästar and have a look.I know that many of the Swedish riding clubs import horse from England and Ireland. So maybe you´ll find something about your horse or pony... Sincerly Camilla www.elitecities.com/zapp

I am a mounted police officer in Providence RI. Recently started using a new mount. After some checking I learned he ( Dino ) is an english shire . We purchased him in Kingston Ont. He is great looking horse and has the temperment for becoming a fine police horse. He works daily in the downtown area , and has no fear. he does everything from tagging parked auto to dispersing large groups of people after the nightclubs close. Thanks for the nice pictures and great website.

My sister has seven horses (well, one's a mini donkey)...she has one draft (a Percheron) and we both just drool over your Shires! Love your horse philosophy and love seeing HAPPY HEALTHY CONTENTED and mannerly horses!!!! Keep it up!

I especially like the foaling cam (and keep checking on Gracie!), and the motion of Ideal! He truly is IDEAL! As are all of the horses I have seen here. It gives me goose bumps to browse your pictures! Thanks, and keep up the great work!

Ideal, he is gorgeuos. I don't own a horse, but ride as often as possible and every time I see a shire, I think of your horses. Hopefully one day I will be able to come and see your horses in person. Thanks again for everything. Ü

I'd became interested in horses when I was 12 and liked them ever since. One day I would like to train my filly to ride western. She is a chesnut! The other horses where she lives are roans. She is the proud mother of Snickers. He is the most funniest, beautifulist, and tall horse colt i'd ever seen. I hope he is as big as his daddy. Thanx for the cool website(o:

I visit your website almost every day at lunch time. It is so refreshing to find people who consider what is best for the horse, not just what will make the most money, or win the most ribbons. Your horses are incredibly beautiful!! Out of all the Shire websites I have visited, yours is the best. The pictures are great and the captions are very informative. I became interested in Shires about 3 years ago during a long illness. I saw an advertisement for Fox Valley Farms and requested information from them. I am definitely hooked. Shires make my two Polish Arabians seem like ponies!! If I am in the Colorado Springs area, may I come visit? All the best, Kris Pavlik

I ince owned an Old english sheep dog and he was an excellent farm dog. People need to know the Old sheepdog is still a good farm dog. Now, the word horse is Friesian, or perhaps old Anglo-Saxon was closer to Friesian than German. But the Shire really looks as if he's related to the Friesian, although the later has had a bunch of andalusian blood bred into him. Just a thought. I'm glad someone is keeping the old breed alive. Best of luck to you. Beverley Burris

Love your site. We have a 7 yr old Shire, Dan, that we purchased from a young lady who had gotten him as a six month old from Clark Jensen of Blair, Nebraska. He was +2 yrs old when we got him. Had to teach him manners, like not to walk on our heels! They really are gentle giants, but those feet weigh a lot. My husband, Dave - 6'6" - trail rides Dan. We're having trouble finding tack (bridle, halter, etc.) to fit him however. Dan's head is 36" from his ears to the end of his nose. Dave uses a full quarter horse western saddle on him. Our daughter has ridden him in an English saddle - more comfortable for us girls as he's so broad w/the western saddle it's not too comfortable. If anyone knows where to get good tack for these guys, please let me know. Again - love the site. It's great to see such response to this breed. Sandy

Your horses are absolutely gorgeous! I'm 17 and have been riding since I could walk. It's my dream in life to have a farm someday with arabs, warmbloods, and now.....shires! I also loved the jousting pic's!

What an incredibly admirable breeding and showing philosophy you have -- one that clearly is based on Ethics and Reason. Just keep being your wonderful selves, folks. I would love to have a couple of Ideal's foals. Maybe some day. Love.

I Love your shires! I'm not as interested in shires as I am Belgians but now I've taken more interest in them! That stallion you have up for stud is gorgeouss! I always thought of Shires as roman nosed heavy horses, but now I've changed my outlook on them! You horses are beautiful! I own a Breyer & Model horse hobby farm and have decided to get some Shire models now too!

I am 43 yrs. old, and still keeping scrapbooks of pictures and anything I can find on these tremendous sweethearts. In my opinion, they are the greatest creature God gave us...I still hope someday to have one as my big "pet" and companion (as soon as I can find a way to get one to Michigan!!) You have a wonderful website, and I think your philosophies are to be commended. Thanks for sharing with us!

You have a great philosophy about showing. People do lots of things that are unnatural and harmful. So, I was just wondering, if you don't want this done to your horses, to whom are you selling the horses that you breed?

But I like the texts - usually you just get good pictures but you can't read the nonsense people write. I like your Breeding and Showing philosophy. I wish all horse breeders would have it.

We have the Dutch mare champion of '99 and also the Dutch stallion champion of '99. The mare also won the German championship of '98. Maybe you know her: Ithersay Jewel. I don't own a Shire, but I love to one day. Because I am in love with this breed.

Your horses are simply breathtaking! I have wanted a Shire since I was a very young girl, but being a often uprooted "Navy brat" had little time to even ride, much less own one. My fiance and I are currently studing all that we can about horses and deffinitely will have a Shire someday, when we're more experienced. Any advice you could give us "novice enthusiasts" would be greatly appreciated! All the best to you and your most impressive "herd!"

You have beautiful examples of the English Shire! I am a high school English teacher, and I used pictures of your beautiful horses and your jousting tourney photos to show my seniors knights in action and perfect examples of the English heavy horse. We even measured out how high 18 hands was on our classroom wall so we could get a good idea of how big the horses had to be to hold the medieval knights. Your site made our study of Le Morte'd Arthur and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight come alive. Keep up the good work and "someday" I just might be priveledged enough to own one of your babies! :)
