GYPSY VANNERS, GYPSY COBS, CLYDESDALES, SHIRE HORSES & BRITISH DRUM HORSES, AUSTRALIA

Arcadia Shire Horse Stable is located 45 minutes north of the Sydney CBD, in the rolling green hills of Arcadia. Our stable is home to quality bred Shire Horses, Gypsy Vanners and British Drum Horses. The stable is family run, from breeding, handling and education to feeding and foal watch. All our horses & foals are registered with either the UK Shire Horse Society or the Gypsy Vanner & Cob Society Inc here in Australia or the Commonwealth Clydesdale Horse Society. The horses are all exposed to plenty of noise and action, with two young boys, visitors, machinery, quads and even the odd helicopter landing. Our horses co-exist with a large gaggle of Toulouse geese, chickens and dogs.

Our UK imported Gypsy Vanner Horses were chosen for their remarkable nature, bone and excellent conformation as we believe a Vanner must be strong enough to do a solid days work and this should to be evident in their conformation and temperament hence we choose not to import & produce the lighter cob types. We know the word "cob" to mean a stout, short legged horse of any breeding, we believe the word cob does not do justice to this magnificent horse - the Gypsy Vanner.

Visitors are amazed by how calm and friendly our foals are from day one. This is partly due to genetics, excellent breeding, selection for temperament and partly due to daily handling and our personal education method for foals. For the foals and horses that move on to new owners we expect a caring, loving, horse-educated new home. We have foals and mares in foal available.
