Texas Gulf Establishes Horse Farm
Across the Pamlico Riv
er from its phosphate min
ing and processing com
plex, Texas Gulf Sulphur
Company is developing a
600-acre horse farm as part
of its land management
program.
Texas Gulf plans to
raise fine horses for show
and sale. If the farm op
erates economically, it will
demonstrate the suitability
of Eastern North Carolina
to raising thoroughbred
horses.
The horse farm, Pamlico
Farms North, presently has
41 horses, although land
continues to be developed
and barns constructed.
Located on property west
of the historic town of
Bath, the farm property
was formerly owned by the
Beasley and Archbell fami
lies. The farm land has
been drained, a two-acre
pond formed, a 44-acre
swamp area raised 14 feet
to a suitable elevation, and
graded acres' of brown
earth are being turned into
green pastures with sow
ing of coastal bermuda and
centipede grasses.

bock, Tex., says the stock
will be grazing year round
on either coastal bermuda
or wheat and oats. Vaughn
has been a Texas G’ulf em
ployee for 20 years, com
ing to North Carolina from
the TGS plant at Worland,
Wyo.
Vaughn recently moved
out of the Archbell house,
a three-story frame house
dating from the early 18th 1
century, into a new resi
dence on the farm.
Under Vaughn’s direction
the scenic farm is becom
ing a top quality breeding
ground for fine horses.
The present herd of 41 in
cludes four stallions, 20
brood mares (14 Thorough
bred and six German Han
overians), and 14 yearlings
and coming two-year olds.
Six will be up for sale this
year.
By June, 1970, the herd
is expected to reach its
maximum of 100 head.
About 20 colts will be sold
each year after next sum
mer.
The picturesque farm is I
criss-crossed with standard I
Chestnut and five-feet high I
Locust split-rail fencing. I
The brood mare stable has j1
20 stalls with each mare I
and colt having an indi- I
vidual pasture. An old I
stallion barn, replaced by I
a new one, is being used as I
a hospital. 1
Other structures include fl
a 20-stall yearling barn, I
Vaughn’s new home, an of- I
flee, feed storage barn and I
hay drier. Interspersed I
among the pastures and I
buildings are wooded areas I
which eventually will have I
a 20-foot clearance between fl
trees and be seeded with I
lawn grasses for beautifi- I
cation. I
Vaughn’s interest has I
turned the farm into a I
haven for wildlife as well I
as horses. Last winter, I
tons of feed were put out I
for deer, geese, duck and I
quail. Vaughn estimates I
there are at least 30 con- fl
vey of quail on the farm. I
An attack on the mos- I
quito population is being I
implemented with the erec- I
tion of houses for 800 1
Martins and a water gut I
being formed so the water I
level can be raised and I
lowered to kill larvae. 1
