The Sanctuary


The Sanctuary, located just east of Ocala on Highway 27, is a rehab center for horses, providing a plethora (I love that word) of treatments for ailing equines. The center also provides therapy for hurting canines.

It is a rather incredible operation and you can read all about it here.

    @ Safe Leif - Well, not really, but I suppose horses who have been hurt by Misery Synod riders could get rehabbed here...

    I think if I were ill, I would get well here, too. I used 'plethora' the other day, too, right here!

    And you have been using that word in excess (which is what that word means).

    Neat place and nice to have someone caring for our injured and mistreated animals. MB

    There should be a plethora of praise for such establishments. And for the photographers who make us aware of them.

    It's so good to know that such places exist. For horses and for donkeys, dogs, cats too.

    @ VP - Sorry, I should have written out the whole word, "rehabilitation." This is quite an operation and you are looking at just a portion of it: But very useful and important as the raising of race horses (and other types of horses) is central to Ocala's economy and identity.

    That's nice. Glad to see our friends are being well-taken care of!

    @ Bibi - I remember your "plethora," and that's one reason I used it again. Pretty soon we'll have a plethora of plethoras!

    Now THIS is what I was talking about when I pointed to Ocala as the place for equines. Luxury living for the odd-toed ungulates.

    You're just a vast plethora of knowledge.

    I suppose this would be the right place for the horse with asthma that I met the other day, remember? It could need a rehab.
