“This is .. the largest mammal that’s walked these islands since the ice age and I think it’s beholden of me and other hardcore shire horse breeders and owners of this nation to keep this horse .. because this country would not be the country it is today but for the shire horse”. Brilliant statement from the breeder.

What a lucky owner to have lived on land for seven generations. Very lucky indeed and to have such lovely horses.

I'm not horse mad by any means but my dad took us to a shire horse farm as children. I was absolutely blown away! It is impossible to describe how incredible they are

I'm glad Willa Rose got recruited, instead of being "drafted." I'm wishing her happiness, success and honourable career in the Forces during her "haydays" in the Household Cavalry.🇬🇧🐴

I had the grand honour of meeting this beautiful horse before she joined the cavalry it was actually the day before she was sent of for her medical examination she was amazing and I am glad that she has succeed

Having watched videos on how well the cavalry treat their horses she is going to a good place, I hope Willa Rose will become a drum horse. Shires the gentle giants are intelligent and learn quickly. Shires are one of my favourite breeds, it makes me really happy that people are still breeding them it would be a real shame to see them become nearly extinct again. 😪Have a happy new life Willa Rose💖

I hope she has been successful in her training. The Cavalry horses are beautiful creatures. . I can understand that she has to have an official name but Willa Rose is a lovely name for a beautiful mare. I wish her luck and a happy life.

I had the honor of dining one evening with the Brigadier and staff of the Household Calvary while they were deployed under field conditions in Egypt during exercise BRIGHT STAR 98. I tip my hat to the British Army, perhaps the world's most experienced campaigners. They know how to go to war in style. What they took afield would baffle any American expeditionary planner.

My dad was a real cowboy when growing up. He like to talk about his teams of SHIRES that did so much work on the ranch. The family made extra money pulling logs off the mountains using the shires. He had a few cow horses. Its crazy think back in his day wagons were pulled by horses, rode your horse to school. The first car was for church and when his mom did not want to hide her horse to town. This is 30s 40s Utah USA.
