The Shire is a draft breed hailing from the United Kingdom that was bred for hauling and agricultural work. On average, the Shire stands 17.2-19.2h, and can weigh over 2,000 pounds! The Livestock Conservancy currently lists the Shire as a critically endangered breed. Today the Shire is commonly used for pleasure driving and showing, and they're often outfitted with beautiful plaits and flights in their manes and tails. Shire horses are known as "gentle giants". The Breyer Shire Model Horse #1793 is captured in the "Shannondell" or Shire Gelding Mold, #744. This model features the braided mane version of the mold, complete with colored ribbons.
