The Mill Creek Farm is a place for horses to spend the rest of their lives in peace. It's full of horses who were formerly in the circus or other performances. Some of them were rescued from neglectful owners. Many of them are blind.
They open for visitors every Saturday, and we were privileged to visit them yesterday.
Admission is 2 carrots. We took 2 bags, but it wasn't nearly enough! Next time, we're going to take....a truckload.
It was a very moving experience.
The Princess wanted to feed them, but she couldn't get over her fear.
She came close, though.....
Ladybug was not afraid.
She even fed the little donkey!
"We may be blind, but we still love carrots!"
The Princess was very proud that she was brave enough to pet this horse, and told me I should put this picture on my blog.
So many beautiful animals were there, and I admire these people for dedicating their lives to them.

They have a place like that around here for the horses that are used for hippotherapy (it's an occupational therapy using horses). Haven't been, but I'd love to pay those horses a visit, they've changed so many lives!
