Shire Horse for Sale at Wann Ranch: Meet Ashanti

If you’re looking for a shire for sale from a breeder you can trust, meet Ashanti, a young Shire mare raised with care at Wann Ranch (often searched as “wann ranch”). She combines classic type with a sweet nature—an ideal partner for leisure riding today and breeding or light driving tomorrow.

Why Ashanti stands out

• Thoughtful breeding: Both parents are registered with the English Shire Horse Society—excellent foundations for the Shire horse breed and a future broodmare prospect.

• Kind, confident temperament: Raised in a mixed herd, she’s sociable, people‑oriented, and already halter‑trained.

• Well started for life: Vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and seen regularly by the farrier. She’s learning to accept hoof handling; we’re reinforcing calm, positive sessions as she matures.

• Direct from the breeder: Transparent history, consistent handling, and ongoing guidance from the team that raised her.

The Shire at a glance

Shires are among the largest horses in the world—often described as the gentle giant of draft horses. Many mature between 17 and 19 hands, with impressive body weight and calm, willing dispositions. Historically prized for farm work and carriage driving, modern Shires also shine in parades, low‑impact sport horse disciplines, and pleasure driving. It’s why the breed is frequently cited as the biggest horse—truly one of the most iconic large horses you’ll meet.

What can you expect with Ashanti?

While still growing, Ashanti shows the balance and temperament that suit:

• Leisure & trail: A steady, people‑focused mare who enjoys attention.

• Driving & display: With age and training, ideal for carriage work, exhibitions, and horse shows.

• Future breeding: Her pedigree and type make her a compelling broodmare prospect once fully mature.

The shire horse price (and overall horse cost) varies by age, pedigree, training, conformation, height, and show record. Because Ashanti is a well‑bred, well‑handled yearling offered directly from the breeder, her price reflects her quality and the care invested in her.
