Abused, crippled, elderly, lame, blind and sick horses find sanctuary at Mill Creek Farm in Alachua County, North Central Florida at the Retirement Home for Horses. This equine heaven was started by Peter and Mary Gregory in 1983 and the farmland now comprises 335 acres where the horses are free to roam and enjoy their final years in peace. Peter passed away in March 2014 but his legacy of love and dedication continues with his wife and their son Paul, who, along with volunteers now look after 130 horses, 5 dogs and 2 cats.
