About Shire Horses
The Shire is a British breed of draft horse known for its enormous size and strength. Stallions can stand over 17 hands tall and weigh more than a ton! Despite their massive size, Shires are known for being docile, willing workers with gentle dispositions. They're often called "gentle giants" of the horse world.
Beautiful Feathering
One of the most distinctive features of Shire horses is the long, silky hair (called feathering) that grows on their lower legs. This figurine is lifelike down to the individual strands of mane and the beautiful feathering on the legs, capturing this signature characteristic of the breed.
Working Horse Heritage
Shire horses have a rich history as working horses in England, where they pulled plows, hauled heavy loads, and powered the agricultural and industrial revolutions. Today, while some Shires still work, many are shown in competitions or kept as beloved companions, admired for their impressive presence and gentle nature.
