Foal Placement

Apply

A Shire is not purchased. It is entrusted.

How It Works

What happens after you apply

01

You apply

Tell us about your experience, your facility, and your intent for the horse.

02

We read it personally

Every application is reviewed by the family — not a queue or an assistant.

03

We talk

If there's a fit, we'll arrange a conversation and, where possible, a visit.

04

Placement

Matched to the horse whose temperament and future suit yours — never the reverse.

The Application

Tell us about the life you intend to give

We ask more than most breeders do. That is deliberate — a Shire will be with you for two decades or more, and the questions below are the ones that determine whether that stretch is a good one for the horse.

There are no wrong answers, only honest ones. Tell us what is actually true of your situation and we will tell you honestly whether we can help.

You
The Placement

We use your details only to respond to this application. Nothing is shared or sold.
