Anonymous - 2010-10-23 If you don't know that a male=a stallion or gelding, and a female is a mare... And that babies are foals... You really shouldn't have a mating pair... Even though these guys are really sweet and wonderful... Stallions are...well, stallions...
Anonymous - 2012-02-19 Maddy, why did your mom get you a 'stallion' amd a 'mare'? If you what to breed Shires or any horses, NEVER get a stallion (unless you are a proper horse breeding stud) If you are desperate to breed your own foal, get only a mare that is over 3 years old then, get a stallion at stud to breed your mare. Hope you like the foal(s) you bred. Also, I would recommend that you sell your stallion for your sake and his. By the way: baby horses are called Foals NOT ponies!

Anonymous - 2013-02-12 I am 12 and I've been riding for 5 years. I know what a stallion, mare, colt,filly and gelding is. If you can buy 2 horses as easily as that, and breed them, you need to learn some stuff
Anonymous - 2014-08-08 I love shires too and would be so happy if I was able to have two, regardless of their gender and no matter what you call them foals are absolutely adorable!

Jasmine Brough Hinesley - 2013-03-11 If he is 5 years old then he is probably as tall as he is going to get. Do you have papers or a reliable source on who his parents are? There's really no way to know unless you have his lineage background. It's quite possible he is just extra tall for a Friesian.
The magnificent Shire is powerful and muscular, and is the tallest breed of horse!

Beautiful horse!
I think they are more than beautiful I love them to bits and I have one of my own called beth.
Shire horses...HAA (I'd love one) The shire horse was ridden by knights in medieval times.
Gosh - and I was waiting for the Knight and all I had to do was get the horse? Thanks for the info -
