Retirement Home For Horses at Mill Creek Farm, Florida, United States
5.0 (63 reviews) Sunday: Spent Ranking #1 in Alachua Farms
Amazing - therapeutic and relaxing for all!
We love coming here! We bring several jumbo (6 lb) bags of carrots and many bunches of bananas - we always go through it all! Always bring more! There is a carrot cart that sells carrots (same price as at the store), so bring cash too. The farms are serene and beautiful, and the horses are magnificent with such amazing stories (and some sad past situations). The owners bring so much to these beautiful animals and the community. The walking is fantastic (paved and accessible) and seeing and petting the horses is just as therapeutic for us as the horses. Great mental health break! Recommended for everyone - families, friends, young, old, a first date, …

GOOD family enjoyment
This a serene quiet place for the entire family .No admission except for 2 carrots to feed the horses. Many horses which most come up to the fence where you can feed them even kids.Only open on Saturdays from 11to 3!! Does require a lot of walking.

Absolutely Excellent! This is a must see, must donate!
From the moment we arrived and were greeted at the entrance to the pastures by a SUPER greeter who explained the history of the Retirement Home, the specifics of certain horses, we were so pleased we decided to make the trip from our home in Ft. Myers. This charity, non-profit, is well done! The horses , donkeys and roaming elderly dogs will steal your hearts, and do bring a minimum of 2-5 lb. bags of carrots to feed those animals which are permitted to have carrots (most, just one was clearly marked not to feed since he has a choking problem), though Jane & I went through 3 bags and could have easily used a 4th bag at the lower pastures. It was wonderful to meet a couple who are sponsoring a horse that was found chained at Lake Okeechobee, purposely done by someone who should also be chained and left, to be eaten by alligators. The horse was discovered, brought to Mill Creek and this couple visit her weekly, brush, bathe, feed, massage and nurture her....wonderful folks. Take Exit 399, proceed westerly to the traffic light at Rt. 235, turn northerly, follow the road as it goes over I-75, then look for the green sign on your right for Mill Creek. Don't forget to donate! Be well! Wonderful for children of all ages....
