L'Ombre et la Lumière.

Ils sont fascinant de part leur masjesté, de part leur noblesse, mais le Shire l'est aussi par sa grandeur.

Bronze, cet étalon Shire du Paradis Shires Ranch, ne fait pas exception.

Un petit bout d’histoire sur le Shire ! 🖤
——————————————————————————
A little piece of story about the Shire ! 🖤

The Shire is a draught horse, originating from England. Although they decend from the Great Horse of medieval times, the modern Shire was estaished in the late 1700's, by work done by breeder Robert Blakewell. The name Shire comes from the "shires" in England, where the breed was used for hauling, agriculture, and war.

The Shires popularity peaked in the late 1800's - early 1900's. The mechanization of agriculture and transport after World War 2, led to a decline in their population. By the late 1950's, the breed nearly went extinct. Dedicated breeders, and promotional hitches, helped the Shires numbers to increase. Whitbread Shires are as popular in England as the Budweiser Clydesdales are here in North America.

Shires made their first appearance in North America in the mid 1800's, and by 1885, the American Shire Horse Association was founded.

Shires are currently listed as Critical on the Livestock Conservancy list.
