Shannondoe offers individual turnout for yearlings and a sales prep regime like no other. Our yearlings have a reputation for looking fantastic! And so could yours.

We pride ourselves on developing our young horses both physically and mentally.

Colton Springs has allowed us to produce much more precocious horses, as we find raising them down south early on develops better bone density and provides a head start on the Ontario-wintered horses. We offer reduced rates for weanlings wintering with us to get that climate advantage.
