Why are Shires the "Draft of Choice" for crossing?
- Shires are the largest, most elegant and athletic of the draft breeds. They were bred as a riding horse to carry armored knights, and are therefore light-footed and move from the shoulder. They are excellent for riding or driving - a pleasure to work with and pass their agility, grace, docile attitude and trainability to their offspring.
- The goal at Kaeson Farms is to breed horses with good bone, solid feet, the athletic abilities of the thoroughbred and the sweet, gentle disposition of the Shire horse.
- Shire crosses are eligible to be registered with the American Warmblood Society as well as several other registries.

Anglo-Shire Warmbloods, also known as Thoro-Shires, are the original
Irish Hunter that accidentally evolved when English Shires were pastured with race horses. Anglo-Shire Warmbloods resemble a large, beautiful Thoroughbred with excellent bone for soundness, power behind to jump well, plus a calm, willing disposition. Anglo-Shire Warmbloods have won Olympic gold medals & Horse of the Year awards in England for five consecutive years! |
