The Good News

Retirement Home for Horses at Mill Creek Farms
An Equine Sanctuary



millcreekfarm.org

In 1984, Mary and Peter Gregory created a haven...safe and tranquil...for old, abused and abandoned horses. Mill Creek Farmin Alachua, Florida situated halfway between Gainesville and Lake City in north central Florida, offers hundreds of acres of serene, tree-studded rolling pastures allowing horses to roam freely, where they are never worked or ridden again. Enclosed by rustic curving wooden fences, horses at Mill Creek farm live with care and attention...and die...in peace and dignity.

Many of the horses are available for sponsorship at this time. The cost is just $40 monthly which helps defray the total cost of maintaining a horse at Mill Creek Farm. You can visit the farm and bring a bag of carrots to meet the horses. The horses appreciate the attention and love the treat of a carrot and you just might find a horse that you would like to sponsor.

As a non-profit organization, The Retirement Home for Horses depends solely on private contributions.
We at Catholic Stewards of Creation have personally known Peter and Mary over 17 years and can vouch for their life-long sacrifice of money, time and care for these beautiful noble animals. God has certainly given them a mission of mercy that has borne much fruit!!
We encourage you to take a Saturday drive out to the farm and support the blessed work that two wonderful people, Peter and Mary and generous volunteers have given to these special horses.
