First Draught Farm
 
is aptly named as we finally took action in
2006 and 2007 to welcome into our lives the Shires
that captured our hearts as little girls.

Because of newly formed friendships and
acquaintances across the miles
we, at FDF,  find ourselves extremely
fortunate to have acquired bloodlines of the finest
American-Born and Bred Shires.
 
It is our desire to promote the Shire in all ways possible
and to also bring to your attention the Shire breed remaining on the
2008 Watchlist - Category 4 "At Risk of Endangerment"
as reported by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust,
England's 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 2008 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 breed 
increasing the reported 500 left in existence worldwide.
Proudly, Peters Creek Farm is home to
five purebred foundation Cleveland Bay mares,
as well as 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.

We hope you enjoy looking through the website
as we proudly present to you our horses,
and have attempted to share with you how much fun
the world can really be with the animals and folks we love.
   

 

 

 

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