Shire horses were not 'discovered', they were created by humans who wanted a bit sturdy draft type horse. The Shire truly began to become a breed in the 16th century when people crossed the Old English Black horse with Dutch horses. The term 'Shire' was used in the mid 17th century to describe the draft horses from the 'Shires' region in England. The breed registry/association opened in 1884 in England.
