Googled it! The American Shire Horse Foundation was founded in 1885.

the foundation i suppose is a group for the preservation of the shire, although these groups no matter what the beast, don,t come into existence until after the animal they represent is already wide spread, i really don't have a clue about the time span of shires in America but feel certain that immigrants would have been taking them with them from very early days.
just look what you have done now, when i try to have my pioneer fantasy all i can visualize is the ar$e end of a three legged donkey. shame on you
