Horses of the South

• American Miniature Horse. Superior as service animals or companions, these small animals have a great disposition and are perfect for those with smaller properties.
• American Quarter Horse. One of the oldest breeds in the country, these horses are known for their sprinting speed. They have a compact body well-suited for horse shows, rodeos and other equestrian events and activities.
• American Paint Horse. Combining characteristics of pintos and quarter horses, these exquisite animals boast elegant and distinctive color markings.
• Tennessee Walking Horse. Known for its unique four-beat walk or run, along with its flashy movement, this breed was originally developed for use on the plantations and farms in the South. Now they’re used for showing and for trail riding.
• Shire Horse. Imported from Britain, these beautiful animals are known for their weight pulling abilities. Their large height and beautiful black, gray, bay or roan coats makes them distinctive additions to larger operations.
