The Shire Horse has played a huge role in the world, first in England and then world-wide. Originally it was used as a war horse carrying knights in armour, and then it was the main source of power in industry and agriculture for 250 years. Again it became a war horse in the 1st & 2nd world wars pulling the heavy artillery in appalling conditions. The Shire Horse nearly became extinct after the 2nd World War and it was only the dedication of a small number of breeders that has prevented it from disappearing from our countryside for ever. Today, however, Shire Horses are increasing in numbers all over the world as more and more people fall in love with this awesome horse.
