The Shire horse is the largest of England's native horses and was used mainly as a draught and horse.

The Cart Horse Society (later to become the Shire Horse Society) was setup in 1878 to improve the breed. The Shire Horse was also used in weight pulling contests. Mechanisation resulted in a decline in numbers but the Shire Horse is still popular at shows and with brewers for work within cities.
