Shire Foal Experience

£49

per person

Meet our Shire foals - Soldier, Iris, Athena, Captain and Major

If you've been following the journeys of our Shire foals - Soldier, Iris, Athena, Captain and Major - then this limited-time VIP experience is one you won't want to miss.

We've had thousands of people all over the world tuning in to our videos about our efforts to grow the numbers of the rare breed Shire horses, to share in the triumph and tragedy of this difficult task.

And now, for the first time ever, we are giving visitors the chance to get up close and personal with our foals themselves.

Watch Soldier and Iris take their milk, hear the story of how they got here, allow us to share our thoughts and remember Ruby, and then go to our paddocks to see all the rest of our Shire stable.
