Meet Franke!
Paula foaled a pure Dutch Harness colt early April 18.

Cedar Hill Shires is located in south central Wisconsin just outside Wisconsin Dells, a major tourism vacation spot. Established in 2003, we obtained our first shire, but has since grown into quite the hobby. We plan to grow in the coming years when time allows.

Our breeding goal is to produce lines that other breeders can use in their lines. We focus on Ithersay Courage, Clarach Gay Aristocrat, Hillmoor Enterprise and Moorfield Edward lines. If you're new to Shires you can read more about those stallions by clicking the link to the left. We try to stay with black, our color of choice but you may see some bay foals as we outcross our Aristocrat ladies to the Hillmoor Enterprise lines. Draft horses are changing from the working horse that they once were, to a more refined modern animal. We acknowledge that, but continue to follow England's Shire Horse Society standard that the horse must have proper girth and style.

We foal 2-3 foals a year and normally will offer to sell some of them. Foaling starts as early as April in our foaling barn and normally over by mid May. We are offering live foal cams and details will be on our home page after the first of every year. Our foals are taught to lead into the barn, tie, pick up feet, be clipped, load in trailer, trot and some hook to their dams for lessons. Pennwood's foal supplements are used for mineral and condition supplements. Mares are fed a quality diet that includes beet pulp, rice bran, pelleted feed, supplements and quality hay. Our mares are given lots of attention and excellent care. We'd love to have more but like to keep the quality and focus on the mares we have.

We currently use artificial insemination to breed our mares and do not stand a stallion of our own.
