Welcome to Gab Creek Farm!
Home of PKR Primavera Brio and Gab Creek Golden Vaquero
Gab Creek Farm lies at the foot of Springer Mountain, southern terminus for the Appalachian Trail. By landmark it is four miles east of Amicalola Falls State Park, the highest waterfall east of the Mississippi. It is a 200 acre fifth generation farm.
Forty acres are under cultivation and the remainder is a mixed pine and hardwood forest. Bridle paths include a 3/4 mile section along Gab Creek. Wild
azaleas, mountain laurel, rhododendron, wild hollies, white pines,
over 60 species of hardwoods, small springs, and an old mill site with a 12' waterfall are all to be found on the farm.
We are working carefully to line breed toward the old families by close breeding (without inbreeding). In this way we are attempting to
balance size, bone and substance with refinement, and to follow the "cattleman's approach" to consistency of conformation.
We invite you to visit us and meet our Morgans! - John and Joyce Hutcheson

August 2010- Anna Myles Mosely, age 5 finishes her August ride on Althea Moro.
Anna is named for my 1st cousin Anna Mosely who died of acute Leukemia in the prime of her life.
Is there anything I would not give this child?

June 2010- This is Gab Creek Golden Halo (PKR Primavera Brio x Longstreet Serenata), a buckskin mare
owned by Melissa Starr, during her first jumping lesson. Melissa says "I'm so impressed with Becky and how she's progressed in the 2 years
since I bought her from Gab Creek Farm. One of the nicest, most
well-balanced/solid horses I've ever been on. A big extended trot and
an awesome uphill canter with the smarts to complete the package!
I can't say enough about how nice of babies Primavera Brio produces
and the quality of horses coming out of Gab Creek Farm!" Melissa has a beautiful 2010 gray part Morgan daughter of Brio as well, and she is looking forward
to the day when she has TWO Brio daughters to ride :-)
JUNE 2010- Gab Creek Currahee (PKR Primavera Brio x Serenata) at his 10th Birthday Party with owner, Alice Ridgway in CT.
He is much loved
-what more could we ask for? John still misses him though.
