The Working Shire Horse

See a Shire horse and you immediately think of power, strength and majesty but also their gentleness and kind disposition. The Shire horse is the most numerous of all heavy or draught horses in the UK, built with powerful muscular bodies featuring broad backs and strong hindquarters ideal for pulling heavy carts, drays, trailers, barges or in days gone by, as fearless chargers carrying knights.
