Show
Since 1996 our horses regularly take part in the German National Shire Horse Show and many other regional shows.
The National Shire Horse Show takes place at the beginning of September each year, hosted by the German Shire Horse Verein e.V.. At the first Shire Horse Show in 1989, only a handful of horses took part. Over the years, the show has developed to become the biggest Shire event in continental Europe.
Since 1996, the Far Forest Shires have won 12 classes, 7 national championships and 6 reserve national championships.
