Shire Horses

The Shire horse is the purest survival of an early type of horse known to medieval writers as the 'Great Horse.'  The English 'Great Horse’ or British 'War Horse' was spoken of in high regard for their strength, courage, and aptitude for military discipline. They were called "The Great Horse" for their size and the weight of the soldiers in armor they could carry; 400 lbs. or more for rider and full armor. The Shire horses' strength, courage and aptitude is what makes them outstanding horses for multiple equine disciplines and a large variety of activities and events. 

Lilly is registered as,  (New England M’Seewe)  ~  ASHA #24783-M  2007 Mare.

Sire: Red Brae Duke  - Dam: Ruskington Tessa 

Lilly is trained for under saddle & driving, she is started in Dressage. She is wonderful on trails, very eager, brave, and forward. She is a super mom and a wonderful horse to hang out with.

 Glory  is registered as,  (Ode to Magnus Mastermind)  ~    ASHA #25018-M  2018 Mare. 

Sire: Jenson's Magnus Mastermind - Dam: New England M’Seewe

This young mare is friendly and eager to learn. Glory is trained to drive and will be learning to ride this year.  She is a pleasure to be around, and we look forward to working with  her more this year.

 Helga occasionally called Hel, is registered as,  (Lazy S Tango's Tilly) ~ ASHA #24864-M 2015 Mare.

 Sire: Illusion Farms Last Tango - Dam: Lazy S Midnight Bell 

This young mare is now started on her riding skills.  She was trained as a hitch horse for the draft horse show, and she loves it. Helga is a fine mare that will excel as an English/Dressage horse. Helga loves being a trail horse, and has lots and lots of excitement to do anything that is asked of her, even if she does not know what is being asked!  

 Frigg is registered as,  (Lazy S Tango's Chloey) ~ ASHA #24928-M 2016 Mare.

 Sire: Illusion Farms Last Tango - Dam: Lazy S Midnight Bell 

Frigg is Helga's full sister.  This mare was trained as a hitch horse just like her sister. Frigg will start learning how to ride this year, and hopefully she will be as eager as Helga is to learn under saddle work.  Frigg and Hel (yes that is the team name) will still show at the draft horse shows as a team, but they will not be showing as hitch horses as much as they did with their old owners.

Maxx is  registered as, (Jenson's Monte Max)  ~ ASHA #23274-S Stallion.

Sire: Shadlac Lord Montgomery - Dam: Jenson's Diplomat May 

Maxx is one of the best horses that Phantom Dragon ranch has had the privilege of owning. Maxx does Western, English/ Dressage, Sidesaddle, Medieval gaming/jousting, Driving, Logging and so much more. He drives single, team, and in the 4-up, with all the mares. There have only been a few times that he has not been teamed with mares. Maxx is a great show and exhibition horse. He is also fun horse to hang out with in the corrals.
