Mill Creek Farm Gazette Oct. 2015

This month we welcomed two new retirees to Mill Creek Farm, launched our new website, vaccinated
all the horses for Eastern and Western Encephalitis and Tetanus, and started stocking the pastures
with coastal hay.

Welcome El Capitan (a.k.a. Cappy)
Gelding/Palomino QH/DOB: 1996
El Capitan (Cappy) retired from
the Fort Lauderdale Police
Department after serving 10 years in
the Mounted Patrol Division. Some
of his duties included patrolling the
city and beach as well as enforcing
crowd control at major events.
El Capitan (L) and Schatzy (R)
Welcome Sky
Gelding /Flea-Bitten Gray Arabian/ 28 Years Old
Sky
Snowflake(L) and Sky(R)
Sky was surrendered to the Sumter County Animal Services by
his owner. We got a call from Dawn at Faith Equine Rescue on Friday
evening telling us about him and that he was scheduled to be
euthanized on the following Tuesday October 6th. We spent the weekend
trying to get hold of Animal Services and finally on Monday we were able
to talk to someone and get his execution delayed. A volunteer at Faith
Equine was able to transport Sky to us that Thursday. He is now in a
pasture with our Snowflake and it was love at first sight for these two. He
is underweight, as well as his pasture mate, and we have begun the
process of putting some much needed pounds on both of them.
We are so excited to share with everyone the
news about our website.
Vortex Communications created the new
website which was underwritten by a
longtime supporter of the horses at Mill
Creek Farm. The site is up and running and
the new design is smartphone and tabletfriendly with features to make it easier to
stay connected or get involved.
Check it out on-line!!
It's hay time once again at Mill
Creek Farm. We put the hay in
the fields long before a frost so
the horses have plenty of time to
transition off the grass.
