First Draught Farm
 
is aptly named as we finally took action in
2006  of the opportunities that became available
to us ~ with our start in miniature horses ~ to reach
our ultimate goal in eventually becoming owners of
one of the largest breeds of horse, the Shire.

Because of newly formed
acquaintances across the miles
we, at FDF,  find ourselves fortunate in acquiring
some of the finest bloodlines of the Shire Horse for our
American Shire Program in the Southeastern United States.
 
It is our desire to promote the American Shire in all ways possibleand to also familiarize the public in bringing to their attention the fact that the Shire Horse remains on the
2009 Watchlist - Category 4 - "At Risk of Endangerment"
as reported by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust,
a leading conservation charity
working to restore Britain's native livestock.
 
Jessie Murray's work at Peters Creek Farm
is focused on the very rare Cleveland Bay, which remains
on the 2009 Watchlist - Category 1 "Critical"
as reported by the same above-referenced Trust.
 
The Johnson Family, owners of Peters Creek Farm, supported by Jessie, share the desire to populate the Cleveland Bay Horse breed increasing the reported 500 left in existence worldwide.
 
Proudly, in 2008, Peters Creek Farm was home to
five purebred foundation Cleveland Bay mares,
three purebred Cleveland Bay stud colts and
six Cleveland Bay crosses.
 
We are honored to be a supporting part of
the Johnson's revitalization effort, and thank them in
allowing us the opportunity to further our endeavors
in owning and producing some of the finest
Shires in the United States.

We hope you enjoy looking through the website
as we proudly present to you our horses.
   

 

 

 

All our horses are trimmed by our own
kind and gentle farrier, Thomas Murray,
on a regular 6-8 week schedule.
