From 1994: A retirement home for horses

Correspondent Martha Teichner visited the Retirement Home for Horses at Mill Creek Farm, in Alachua, Fla., whose owners, Peter and Mary Gregory, provide a bucolic home for police and military horses that have finished their working careers, or elderly equines that have been abused, neglected or abandoned. And it's not just for horses: A veritable Noah's Ark of animals shares the grounds. Originally broadcast on "Sunday Morning" March 27, 1994.

Knowing that I can't save all the abused, neglected and unwanted animals of this work really makes me sad. I'm happy for what people like these do and continue to do.

This place may still be in existence, Google Retirement Home for Horses Inc.

[@FourGators]

It is still in existence, being run by Mary still and their son, Paul.

I hope it still continues.

[@heathermetz3974]

Hope people are inspired to start more Noah’s Ark animal retirement homes.

Those are some very thin horses, there. How sad. Euthanasia is not the unkindest thing. I understand this place is still in operation, but now with about twice as many horses. I hope the horses are better cared for now.

angfreda the one that was so thin, he did say it was slowly dying. I’d hope they’d put it down when it was time.
