Best Answer

Shires (assuming you mean the breed of horse) were bred to haul heavy wagons, pull farm implements. Horses were picked based on the characteristics that best allowed them to stand up to the labor they were required to do as well as perform

the tasks with the least mechanical effort.

Breed organizations set the standards for their individual breed and with Shires they have selected for size.
