Over the Thanksgiving holidays, 69 Thoroughbreds in various states of poor condition were taken under the protection of the Horse Protection Association of Florida.They are urgently looking for adopters for these horses.Dr. Bill Russell volunteered his services to perform minor treatments, microchip and pull Coggins on these horses.However, the association still needs help-donations of money or feed or hay would be welcome.
Helping the needy at Christmas-instead of holding our annual staff Christmas Party this year Peterson & Smith decided to donate the food to the local kitchens to help feed those less fortunate.Golden Ocala will cook and prepare the food which will be taken to Brothers Keeper and served as part of the Christmas dinner.
