Imposing yet gentle, the Shire horse will once again enchant the audience at the Verona equestrian event in this edition. Despite its large stature, this breed—originating from the Midlands of England—is known for its calm temperament, which historically made it the ideal horse for heavy work and transport, particularly during the reign of Henry VIII. Even today, Shires are used to move heavy loads in British cities, especially pulling carts filled with barrels of beer.
This year at the fair, the stars will be Conan and Barwood Top Notch, two extraordinary Shire specimens from the Colombia Solitaria Ranch. With their presence in Area A and Pavilion 1 of Fieracavalli, visitors will have the opportunity to admire the charm of these “gentle giants” up close. Despite reaching heights of up to two meters at the shoulder and weighing over a ton, they are such docile horses that they can be entrusted even to a child.
Don’t miss the chance to have an unforgettable experience. Conan and Barwood Top Notch are waiting for you, along with over 2,000 specimens, to transport you into the magic of the equestrian world at Fieracavalli from November 7 to 10, 2024!
