About Rice Creek Shires
At Rice Creek Shires we strive for the ideal horse, one that is as attractive on the inside as on the outside.
Shires have long been known as the most cold blooded breed of horses. (Cold blooded translated into today’s terms means “laid back.”) In fact during the 1920s and 1930s, when the various draft breeds were vying for dominance, Shires were criticized for not having enough fire in their personality.
However, in today’s world, where few of us have the time or luxury of using our horses hour after hour, day after day the Shires laid back personality are a well appreciated trait to many horse owners. Although they are very calm they do move at a gait we call a working walk, which is a measured pace which can be sustained all day long.
