Outdoors & Nature Insider

Kevin Mims

I'm a freelance writer and videographer, and spend most of my days exploring Florida's natural wonders from a kayak, a bike or rambling down a hiking trail. A Florida native living in Citrus County, you'll often find me watching the boats go by on the Homosassa River. I'm always sharing stories, photos and videos, so follow along and together we'll discover Florida's natural treasures.


It's #Florida #Hiking Month, so go take a hike already! Here are some #trails to get you going: http://t.co/JzwJHWhH

A Visit to the Mill Creek Farm Retirement Home for Horses

March 04, 2010

Related Tags: Outdoors & Nature, Gainesville, Equestrian

I'm spending some time in the Gainesville area for the next couple of days and today I made a stop in at the Mill Creek Farm Retirement Home for Horses in Alachua. I've heard of the farm, but have never visited, so it was a definite treat to see firsthand the amazing work that Mary and Peter Gregory and their team of volunteers do to provide a peaceful setting for the horses in their care. Mary and Peter have totally devoted their lives to looking after the horses, and if you are near Gainesville, you should stop in and check it out for yourselves. Here's Peter giving a brief overview of the farm:
