Meet Ashanti — A Young Shire Mare at Wann Ranch

Why Ashanti Stands Out

If you’re searching for a Shire horse from a breeder you can trust, meet Ashanti, a young Shire mare raised with care at Wann Ranch. Ashanti combines the classic Shire type with a sweet nature, making her an ideal partner for both leisure and future endeavors. Here’s what makes Ashanti special:

• Thoughtful breeding: Both parents are registered with the English Shire Horse Society, ensuring a solid foundation for Ashanti’s growth and future as a broodmare.

• Kind, confident temperament: Raised in a mixed herd, Ashanti is sociable, people‑oriented, and already halter‑trained, making her easy to handle.

• Well started for life: Ashanti is vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and seen regularly by the farrier. She’s learning to accept hoof handling, with calm, positive sessions reinforcing her good nature as she matures.

• Direct from the breeder: Ashanti comes with transparent history, consistent handling, and ongoing guidance from the team that raised her.

Shire Horses at a Glance

Shires are among the largest horses in the world , often described as the gentle giant of draft horses. They are known for their impressive size, usually between 17 and 19 hands tall, and their calm, willing dispositions. Historically, they’ve been prized for their strength in farm work and carriage driving, but today they also shine in parades, low‑impact sport horse disciplines, and pleasure driving.

These majestic horses are the embodiment of beauty, power, and gentle kindness, making them an iconic breed.

What Can You Expect with Ashanti?

While Ashanti is still growing, she’s already showing the balance and temperament that make her ideal for a range of disciplines:

• Leisure & trail riding: Ashanti is a steady, people‑focused mare who enjoys attention and is perfect for leisurely trail rides.

• Driving & display: With age and training, Ashanti could be an excellent candidate for carriage work, exhibitions, and horse shows.

• Future breeding: With her pedigree and type, Ashanti makes an excellent broodmare prospect once fully mature.
