About Our Farm
Welcome to the Jenson Shires Farm located in Blair, Nebraska on the Missouri River Bluffs overlooking the beautiful Loess Hills. Our farm is only 18 miles north of Eppley Airport in Omaha, Nebraska. Jenson Shires main focus is a breeding farm. We average between 50 to 70 Shires at the farm depending upon the time of year you visit. You will find a few Quarter horses mixed into the group, after all, we are from Nebraska. You’re welcome to visit at any time. We look forward to meeting you.
Jenson Shires bid goodbye to their founder, Clark and June 2024. We will be forever be grateful for the high standards and dedication they have set for Jenson Shires going forward.
Three generations of the Jenson family are working on continuing the legacy and tradition of Jenson Shires. Today we are still working on enhancing our breeding technology and concentrating on genetics. Currently, we are working with a leading geneticist to enhance our knowledge of the Shire DNA and its genetic mapping. We are continuously updating our facilities to accommodate the large draft breed and its reproduction necessities. We also work closely with several equine veterinarians to ensure the most effective vaccines for our area to maintain a healthy, energetic herd. With over thirty years of experience and hard work we strive to ensure a bright future for each and every Shire for many generations to come.
Jenson Shires puts a great deal of emphasis on finding the right horse for the right person. Horses have been sold to every state (except Alaska) and into five different countries. We have had some very rewarding moments with our horses. The Guinness Book of World Records lists Jenson Shires as the breeder of the tallest horse in the world. This horse, Tina, stood at 20 hands. In Disney’s movie Brave, one of the stars of the movie was a horse named Angus. Angus was an animation that was based off of a Shire horse named Jenson’s Janet. Horses June and Janet were two mares that were sold to Steven Graves in California. These two won the hearts of a Disney producer and the rest is history.
Let us know what you are looking for and I think we can find you a match. Pulling carts and wagons have always been what people think of when you talk about a draft horse. A Shire horse is one of the most beautiful Hitch horses but they are also very versatile. Seventy percent of the horses we sell are for riding. Shire’s temperament allows them to work in many therapy situations very successfully. Thank you and we look forward to your visit to our farm.
Our Mission
We are devoted to the care and preservation of the historically significant Shire breed, producing some of the highest quality horses in America. Years of genetic studies and continuous work with universities is an ongoing effort made to better understand this incredible breed.
