Retirement Living at Picos Horse Farm 🐎🐎

Looking for a peaceful, comfortable place for your horse to enjoy their golden years? Picos Horse Farm has pasture with stall board available! (Each pasture also has access to a lean too. Stalls are used as needed unless otherwise requested).

We specialize in caring for retired and senior horses and believe they deserve to spend their days doing what horses do best—grazing, relaxing, and being spoiled.

At Picos Horse Farm, your horse will enjoy:

- Rolling hills and plenty of room to roam
- Pasture living with stall access
- Homegrown hay
- Daily fly wipe and attentive care
- Treats and plenty of love
- A quiet, comfortable environment where they can truly enjoy retirement

We don't just provide a place for your horse—we want them to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and cared for every day.

If you're looking for a retirement home where your horse will be treated like one of our own, we'd love to talk with you!

Message us for more information about available boarding or to schedule a time to come see what Picos Horse Farm has to offer.

Because retirement should mean rolling hills, full bellies, and absolutely no alarm clocks.

On July 17, 1967, a terrible accident happened high above the streets of Jacksonville, Florida. Utility worker Randall G. Champion was working on a power pole when he suddenly received a massive 4,160-volt electric shock. The powerful jolt knocked him unconscious instantly. Thankfully, his safety harness stopped him from falling to the ground, but he remained hanging helplessly from the pole.

Below him was his co-worker, J.D. Thompson. The moment Thompson realized what had happened, he quickly climbed up the pole to help his friend. While balancing high in the air and strapped to the pole himself, Thompson began giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to Champion. He continued breathing air into his lungs for several minutes, refusing to give up. Finally, he felt a small pulse and knew Champion was still alive.

Thompson then carefully unfastened Champion’s harness and carried him down the pole on his shoulder. By the time paramedics arrived, Champion had started recovering. Amazingly, he survived the accident and later made a full recovery. He went on to live for another 35 years.

At the same moment, photographer Rocco Morabito happened to be driving nearby. Seeing the emergency, he quickly called an ambulance using his car radio and captured the dramatic rescue with his camera. The photograph became famous around the world and was later named “The Kiss of Life.” In 1968, it won the Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography and became one of history’s most powerful photographs.
