Community Service

​Mill Creek Farm- Retirement Home for Horses

Retirement Home for Horses at Mill Creek Farm is a nonprofit equine sanctuary located in Alachua, Florida. They provide lifelong care for horses that have been neglected or abused or that are unwanted and destined for slaughter and we volunteer there to feed and groom the horses.

Two Tails Ranch

Two Tails Ranch is one of North American's premier exotic animal care facilities. Located just west of Gainesville and Ocala, Florida, this spectacular haven has been a training, medical, breeding and retirement facility for hundreds of elephants and exotic felines for over 20 years. We volunteer to help ensure food for the elephants.

Fundraiser

Restaurant Nights

We have a few nights per semester where the team receives a percentage of the money spent on food at local restaurants. These include: Chick-fil-a, Moe's, Sweet Dreams, Applebee's, Chili's, etc.

Horse Shows

Each team (Hunt Seat, Western, and Dressage) usually hosts a show over a weekend each year. These are fun, but require a lot of hard work as well as the help from the club and all three teams to handle horses and manage the show.

Food Drives

We usually do one food drive per semester to help local non-profits in the Gainesville and Alachua area. We often help the Food for the Mighty and Gainesville Backpack Club.

Social Events

Tie-dying

At the beginning of Fall, we usually have a tie-dying meeting where we can dye our Equestrian Team shirts! It's a lot of fun!

Bonfires

Once the weather gets chilly in Gainesville, we have a bonfire night at one of the coaches' barns to roast marshmallows and just hang out.
