Carvers Creek Shires

Carvers Creek Shires, Shire horses, Riegelwood, NC, serve Columbus County and the coastal plain near Wilmington. Chris and Gina Meggs have been breeding Shire horses for several years, following American Shire Horse Society health-screening guidelines for soundness and responsible stewardship. Their breeding program emphasizes gentle temperament and correct confirmation, with annual veterinary exams, farrier visits, and clear health records from birth.

Horses live in rotating paddocks and enjoy daily turnout and hands-on grooming to foster calm, cooperative behavior. Foals are socialized from weaning onward, learning to load, lead, and adapt to light driving work alongside experienced mares. Owners receive regular updates on each horse’s growth and training milestones, helping maintain transparency and trust. Many of their animals participate in local draft pulling demonstrations, reflecting the Meggs’ dedication to preserving traditional skills. The Meggs maintain spacious shelters and quality hay reserves to ensure comfort and nutrition through all seasons.
