About Us
Phantom Dragon Ranch was founded to promote the versatility and talent of the Horse!
At Phantom Dragon Ranch we enjoy challenging our horses and ourselves to excel at multiple skills and disciplines to show the versatility that is possible with these wonderful animals-- the English Shire, Shire sport horses, and small ponies. We also work and perform with other breeds like the Peruvian Paso Andalusian, the Mangalarga Marchador, and Gypsy/Drums.
