It is our desire to promote the American Shire in all ways possible, and to also familiarize the public in bringing to their attention the fact that the Shire Horse remains on the
2010 Watchlist at the Critical Level in the US as reported
lists at a Category 4 - "At Risk of Endangerment"
a leading conservation charity
working to restore Britain's native livestock
is focused on the very rare Cleveland Bay, which remains
on the 2010 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.

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