We lost Grand Champion Shire stallion Mufasa, affectionately known as ‘X’, to a sudden and catastrophic illness in late 2015. A limited supply of frozen semen remains available to approved light mares.

He was a most unique Shire given his ability to compete successfully in the Dressage ring with purpose-bred horses. We were very proud of the training and success he achieved in his lifetime, but most importantly, remember him as a gentleman-giant athlete who stole our hearts.

Mufasa X posted impressive scores in the Dressage ring and moved with an uncommon lightness for a horse of his size. He had been trained with the exclusive intention of a career in Dressage, thus his movement, agility, and carriage were unique among draft breeds. This combination of attributes – size, power, work ethic, and the quiet, acquiescent mind of the Shire horse lend themselves to create the ideal cross-bred for adult amateur riders. Mufasa and his trainer-rider, Luis Reteguiz-Denizard had an outstanding show season in 2015, attending the Region 3 USDF GAIG Championships and captured the United States Dressage Federation All-Breeds Award for the American Shire Horse Association.
