Deer Creek Farms

Mission of Deer Creek Farms:

Deer Creek Farms is committed to providing a quality breeding and boarding program in Central Texas. We believe that quality care is essential for the health and well-being of any horse; therefore Deer Creek Farms strives to offer the best care available. Horses are healthiest and happiest when they are in their natural environment in a herd out on pasture. Therefore, we offer pasture board first and foremost. However that situation is not always convenient for a horse owner, or a special needs horse, so Deer Creek Farms also offers the option of large pens with stalls/shedrows to help keep your horse active and healthy. We do not have an enclosed barn/stall set-up as it lends itself to becoming dusty and dirty, and the horses tend to get bored when kept in a 12X12 stall all day without turn-out. We feel that it is not healthy for a horse to be in a stall in a barn all day.

The breeding program is centered around the American Curly horse, also known as the American Bashkir Curly, because the breed, which is a unique and rare breed, offers many advantages over conventional straight-haired horses. American Curly Horses are considered to be hypoallergenic. Many people who react violently to animals or horses do not react to certain curly horses. One of our missions is to make this rare and unique breed available to the public in Central Texas which would provides a way for allergy sufferers to take advantage of an opportunity to be involved in equine activities.
