Hello My Name is Callie.
ADOPTED JULY 2021!
Have you ever met a magical horse? I am the horse that little girls dream about having. People say I’m magical. I’ve been told I might be part unicorn. Not only am I absolutely beautiful (I hate to brag, but I am)- but I’m also kind, friendly, and easy-going. I’d say I’m elegant yet approachable. I would love to find my forever home as a companion horse with someone who wants to just love on me. A girl can dream.

Working On: Becoming even more beautiful!
FUN FACT: The Shire horse, developed in England, traces it’s history to the days of the Roman Conquest and is one of the oldest of the well-defined draft breeds. The name “Shire” also comes from England, and derives its name from the Saxon word “schyran,” which means to shear or divide, hence the name “Shire,” that is synonymous with county. King Henry VIII first applied the name “Shire” to the horse early in the 16th century. Read more about this breed here.
