One Lucky Lady…
She sure was…..she had just been awarded “Supreme Champion” in the Shire Horse Championships, here in Derbyshire. Very appropriately named Kilmore Lady Luck. Both horse and owner obviously well pleased with their success.
Not that luck came into the equation. Just lots of hard work and patience over time by all the Horses and Owners competing. It is hard to conceive that this giants of the horse world can be both some powerful yet so placid. Once the backbone of the agriculture, haulage and military arenas, thanks to some dedicated breeders and owners the Shire Horse Breed continues to have a place in our British countryside to-day.
Even nicer for them to make the big effort to bring the Horses young and old along for us to see and enjoy

Why is it we people have a hang to decorate anything and everything around us. I don’t think this hose in any way looks happy with the arrangements? Wouldn’t it be a proud sight if it was just a well groomed horse?!

I love these big, gentle giants. Also our own heavy horses and the Belgian ones. But the shire is the niggest of them all. It’s on top of my list. Followed by the Frisian and the the Zeeuws (from the rovince of Zeeland). You can find them all on Google. I also like the German Haflinger, although it’s small.
