Re: [RC] Horse Retirement Farm in Carolinas/Florida/Georgia - HELP! - Elizabeth Chase
I know of a place in Kentucky. There is also Painter Star Stables in Florida, a rescue/retirement facility. I'd be happy to forward the information if you'd like.

I have a horse who just turned 29 a couple days ago, and due to upcoming military move within the next year or so need to start looking for a place for him where he will be safe and happy. Nafal has moved with me all over the country during my military career, but at his age now I simply don't believe it is in his best interest to move again. When moving, it is rare to luck into rental properties where there is a house for us and pasture for horses.
Can anyone recommend a suitable retirement farm that would take him, or perhaps a therapeutic riding clinic? He can be gently ridden by smaller-framed individuals and is still quite eager to go. Only real issue is that he drops weight in the winter (needs good hay and preferably a warmer climate--such as GA/FL).
