Tom Cat we will miss you!

We lost Merete's dear Tom Cat this week. He was 30 years old. Tom Cat has been at Mill Creek since he was 4 years old. Cory says she doesn't remember him ever cheating or saying no. "He was a gem of a guy and was lucky to have Merete." Tom Cat is buried at Mill Creek.

Above is a photo from Tom Cat's 28th Birthday party in March 2008. See more photos from the party.

Congratulations Mario and Olivia!

Price Change for Semi-Private Lessons Effective 3/1/10

Dear Mill Creek Clients,

Please note that effective March 1, 2010, the price for semi-private lessons will change to $60 per rider, regardless of the number of riders in the class (from 2 -4 riders). As in the past, lessons with 5 or more riders, will be considered group lessons.

New Phone on the Patio at Mill Creek

Since we don't have cell phone reception at Mill Creek, we now have another phone for public use. It's located on the patio near the vending machines. The number is (310)455-0402. It receives calls, can dial 911 and makes local calls for free. Most calls, however, require a phone card, so unless you are calling someone in Topanga, please make sure to have one on hand if you need to make phone calls from the barn.

New Horses at Mill Creek! Congratulations New Horse Owners!
