The Shire Riders are a group of indivduals that ride together to promote the Shire Draft Horse, a breed of horse currently listed on the 'watch' list because of dwindling numbers. We've participated in numerous parades including the elite Tournament of Roses Parade as well as Equestfest. In addition, we've taken shires to visit schools & libraries upon invitation.
