The Shire Breeding Community

History of the Shire
The Shire is a draft breed native to England. The breed descended from England's "great horse" which carried knights in full armor into battle. During the 18th century the Shire was improved as a draft and farm animal. In 1853 the first Shire came to America but the breed never became popular in the United States. Today, the Shire is the world's largest draft breed.

Breed Standards
(According to the Shire Horse Society)

Stallions:
-Black, brown, bay, or grey in color. Roan, chestnut, and white paint markings are not allowed.
-17 hands and up.
-Long head and neck, large well-set eyes, deep and oblique shoulders, wide chest, short strong back, straight sturdy legs, long wide and muscular hindquarters, well sprung ribs, large solid hooves, and fine straight silky hair.

Mares
-Black, brown, bay, or grey in color. Roan is accepted as well.
-16 hands and up.
-Near the same conformation as stallions but with a more feminine appearance including head and neck. The back can be longer than a stallion's. Legs should be short.

In-Game Conformation
-16-17.3 hands
-Medium to heavy build
-60% to 80% body size

I consider myself a Shire breeder aswell, please add me to your honorable list

Great Job making a breeding community.

Altough i breed lots of horses, the shire is always been one of my favorite. Short after i started the game i made a bunch, broke some World Records and then moved on to other breeds. Because i have so many breeds, once in a while i focus on one or more breeds and improve the stock i have or make new line for my old stock.

My two favorite Shires are listed below

P.S. If you quote my message you can see the code i used to improve your link to the sales page

Okay great I added you to the list of in-game breeders

Thank you so much! I would love that!
Well I think I'll let BB have the job, I'm already working on a large project for her

So I'm rather busy right now. I doubt she needs help
