Profile
Stella, as this gentle giant mare is called here at the stud, is a pure bred Shire mare.
Why, do you ask?
Yes, why indeed!
Because having a horse of this size is just awe inspiring at it’s worst and damn near perfection at it’s best.
Yes, they are not the best “sport horses”
Yes, they don’t jump like the warmbloods, they don’t dressage with the elegance of a warmblood or the exaggerated movement of the Friesians,
But they crawl into your heart with those big lumpy bodies as if they were the size of of a welsh pony!
And seeing as almost every single buyer out there wants a big horse,
I thought, why not!
With this laid-back personality, she will breed the perfect family horses for trail rides and lazy hacks.
The odd jump over a log or to dress up for a show.
Seems to be to little of the giants out there.
