Meet our "Queen of the Herd", Steege's Beth. Having a gentle soul, she reigns with great dignity and respect, only using force when necessary. This fabulous lady boasts some of the best shire bloodlines out there. Her sire is Davi Quebec Siboulette, and grand-sire is Legendary Champion English Shire Stallion, Rhyd-Y-Groes Premier King! One of the best known grey Shire stallions in England, Canada, and North America, he left a wake of show winnings that are still tough to match! He also possessed one of the most magnificent manes ever seen on a horse, which Beth has certainly inherited.

Crazy amounts of hair, a beautiful archy neck, excellent sporty conformation, floaty movement, and a beautifully refined head are a few of this beautiful girl's best qualities. Her docile, good-natured disposition adds to her incredible presence. Better yet, she passes on these wonderful traits to her foals. Beth is trained to both ride and drive, and has been used to train youngsters for single, double, and three abreast driving. She is also trained extensively in halter and is a four time champion!

RIP ZENA...GONE...BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN...Steege's Zena is our fancy Blue Sabino (roaned) Shire mare with loud white markings. She has a nice wide blaze, white belly splashes, four high white stockings, and even has a white patch on her right shoulder. Better yet is her fabulous amount of thick, silky feather! The English judge at the 2007 Regional Shire Show at K.I.L.E., PA commented on how wonderful her feather was! This beautiful mare is very well put together, with long legs, short back, heavy bone, and one of the best set of hocks out there! When in motion, this girl has unbeatable action. She's very heads up with high knee action and makes great use of her hocks, giving her an extremely flashy appearance!

Zena is trained to both ride and drive, but since she is such a wonderful broodmare she has mainly been used for breeding, until recently that is. She had her first show season EVER in 2007 and what a season it was! At her first show in August she won 1st place in Open Halter in a class of 9 entries, all light breeds. Then in September at the Beaver Fair she again won 1st place in Open Halter in a large class of light breeds, going on to win the 2007 Grand Champion Halter Horse! Finally, we took her to the Regional Shire Show at K.I.L.E. in Harrisburg, PA where she was entered in the Yeld Mare 4 yrs. and older class. The competition was very tough with 11 entries and the judge traveling from England this year. Zena won 6th place and did an excellent job. We are so proud of her and look forward to showing her in driving/riding classes in the future.

RIP ROSEY GREY...GONE...BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN...Rosey Grey was at Wilson College in Chambersburg, PA, with our daughter Olivia for four years.  This highly versatile girl was part of Wilson's Equestrian Team and participated in Drill Team, Dressage, Western Team, and Hunter/Jumper!  She was also used in Wilson's Therapeutic Riding program as well as a lesson horse. She is quite adored by the Wilson staff and students!

Rosey is a Brabant Belgian and perhaps our most versatile and well rounded horse. Brabants or European Belgians are the foundation horse for the American Belgian and are the gentle giants of yesteryear. They are rare and bred primarily in Europe. To find more out about this exciting breed visit our "Breeds" page.  Rosey is a unique bay roan color with jeg black feathered legs and a small white star.  Although she isn't registered (due to lack of parenting information), she is certainly a great example of her breed, with an immensely thick, short neck, broad chest and shoulder and a very strong, muscular build.

Rosey is a great athlete, trained extensively in halter, english/western pleasure, hunter, jumping, dressage, driving, trail riding, and even gaming! She competes in barrel racing, keyhole, pole pending...against light breeds...and wins! She also participates in parades and was our daughter's 4-H horse. This versatile girl has won more ribbons than we can count in her show career.  She and Olivia have even participated in the 2011 Open Draft Horse Show at the PA Farm Show, bringing home a 5th place in Western Riding! Rosey is usually the only draft horse at the open shows we attend so attracts attention wherever she goes and is a crowd favorite. People are simply drawn to her. Rosey now enjoys being a lesson horse at Chestnut Oak Farm.

As if being a rare breed and do-it-all show horse weren't enough, this girl is also a CELEBRITY HORSE and was owned by WILBUR RIMES of Texas! Yes, that's LEANN RIMES' dad! We feel very lucky to be able to own this unique mare.
