| Escambia County's Equestrian Center is waiving per-horse stall fees for Irma Evacuees |
There has been much discussion yesterday evening and also today on social media about Escambia County's Equestrian Center's use fees for horse owners affected by the storm.
I have spoken with administrator Jack Brown about this matter, and his staff have advised that the stall fees per horse (Typically $18.00 daily) will be waived for non-local horse owners who are evacuees from Hurricane Irma.
Owners will be responsible for providing their own shavings (or purchasing these from us)and also owners will be responsible for feeding (and providing the feed) for their horses.
We will allow for the horses to remain in our center for a reasonable period of time after the storm, in order to allow for evacuees to plan for return to their respective communities.
We have a number of RV spaces available as well, upon which we pay TDT fees, water and electricity charges. These spaces will be available for use by horse owners at our customary rates as availability and space permits.
A press release describing all of this will be coming out later this afternoon.

You can judge the progress of a nation by the way it treats its animals! <3 I am glad so many are reminding others to bring their pets along with them, and I am glad the Equestrian Center opened its doors for evacuees and their animals. In Houston, there are streets with dead cows and it's so sad to look at.
I agree anonymous, that's why I am so glad we implemented this for our fellow Floridians. It is my understanding the 88 out of area horses (and their owners) utilized the Equestrian Center as a shelter.
