About Black Shire Draft Horse Mares:

The Shire is a British breed of draft horse and is often cited as the tallest and strongest horse breed in the world! Shire mares typically stand 16-17 hands high (some reach over 18 hands) and can weigh up to 2,400 pounds. Black is one of the traditional and most striking Shire colors, along with bay, brown, and grey. Despite their massive size, Shire mares are known for their gentle, calm temperament—they're truly 'gentle giants.' The breed originated in central England and was used for farm work, pulling heavy loads, and as war horses in medieval times carrying knights in full armor. Shire mares are excellent mothers and are prized for their strength, endurance, and willing nature. The abundant feathering (long, silky hair) on their legs is a hallmark of the breed. Today, Shires are used for forestry work, showing, driving, and as riding horses. They're living symbols of Britain's agricultural heritage!
