Easter Creek Appaloosas & Miniatures ... Our Farm

Our farm has been described as charming, quaint, and full of character.  We are not your typical "ranch" with sprawling acres of grass pastures.  We thoroughly enjoy our wooded setting and the privacy and shade it affords.  Our small paddocks are easy to maintain and offer us several different options for turnout of our motley crew!  The smaller size of our facility allows us to pay attention to every detail.


This is where you will probably find us when the barn chores are through!  Pool designed and built by Dave Vosbury Of Custom Pools.


Our facilitites

At Easter Creek, our full-size and miniature facilities are separate. They consist of our full-size barn, our miniature barn, and tack and feed building all opening to a central "court yard" area. We also have a 10'x10' fenced play area for our children that borders this courtyard, so they are safe and also visible from most areas in and around the barns. 

Full size horse barn with (2) 10'x16' and (2)10'x12' stalls, concrete aisleway, shavings  storage for 18 cubic yards, and covered horse trailer parking

Miniature horse barn with  (4) 6'x10' stalls and hay storage for over 100 bales of hay, in addition to wheelbarrows and other neccessities.

Tack and feed building that measures 14'x40' with a garage door for easy feed deliveries, a picture window to view the arena and barns, "parking" for our pleasure and show carts, and  full restroom facilitites

And yes,  as the farm name implies, we do have a beautiful creek that runs the length of the property about 8 months out of the year.


 Please give us a call at (318)965-5969.  We are 30 minutes from the Shreveport International Airport, 20 minutes from the riverboat cities of Shreveport/Bossier, and within walking distance to the beautiful Cypress Lake/Black Bayou.  We would be glad to hitch up the cart to take you for a ride with one of the miniatures...or we can saddle up one of our Appaloosas.  You are also welcome to just stop by for a cup of coffee!  We look forward to hearing from you!
