Anchor Creek Farms 

Horses For Sale

      

     Jim Murry, owner and operator of Anchor Creek Farms, is a 3^rd generation horseman. In his younger years, he and his dad worked with 20 mule hitches. They would go to various parades and pull the Sico original oil tank wagon. In addition to pulling in parades, they also used mules to work farm fields and cultivate tobacco. As Jim got older, he began to delve deeper in the horse industry by buying, training, and selling work and riding horses. He also enjoyed roping competitively until family and farming began to take the fore front in his life. Still continuing to buy and sell work horses and mules, Jim began to make a living farming too. Occasionally, when time allowed, he would train horses. Jim continued to farm, specializing in hay, wheat, corn, soybean, and tobacco. He feeds all of his horses from hay and corn grown on his farm. In the above picture: Paul Murry, driving a team of eight mules, and Jim, riding one of the mules, while a group of passengers enjoy an afternoon out in the country.

     For the past four years, Brittanni, Jim's daughter, has been training horses. Her passion for training developed farely young, given the fact that she has been riding since before she could walk. Everything she knows has been acquired through attending clinics, reading, watching training programs on TV, and her dad. It was her life long dream to be a trainer, so she put that dream into action when she began to play around with some young colts her dad owned. Since starting that, her passion for training has grown, and she now has anywhere from seven to ten horses she's working with on a regular basis. Her dad buys them, then she trains and markets them on this website, advertising them on some well known equine sites to help get more customers to her website. Selling quality stock helps to build a good brand name and reputation for both Brittanni, and her dad's farm. Keeping her customers happy generates positive word of mouth, which hopefully helps to reap future business through new customers. Up until December of 2010, Brittanni was balancing training with a full course load at Millersville University. She was driven to graduate from college, which enabled her to complete her program in 3 1/2 years, graduating with a bachelors degree in Business Administration with a focus in management. Since then she has made training her full time job. She hopes to continue training in the years to come if she can make it a lucrative venture, considering how the economy has somewhat hurt the equine industry. If you have any questions about what what Brittani does or the horses she has for sale, don't hesitate to email her. Contact information can be found on the "contact us" page.

Our Business

Anchor Creek Farms has been a running establishment for the past 19 years. Jim Murry has been working in the horse and mule industry all of his life, and, although he manages his own farm, he still buys and sells a great number of horses and mules to local farmers and other dealers in the area. Some of his mules are even bought to work as pack animals out west. It has only been within the past three years that training horses has become more prevalent in his business. Jim's daughter, Brittanni, has been pushing to make training horses a part of her dad's business. She trains horses her dad buys and then advertises them on equine.com. This website will hopefully help market the horses she trains and better explain what she is doing and hopes to accomplish.
