Cash registers jingle at outlet mall By Kathy Steele

Shopping madness begins at Tampa Premium Outlets in a shop ‘til you drop holiday extravaganza. The outlet mall, which is experiencing its first holiday season, will open on Thanksgiving at 6 p.m., and will continuously operate through Black Friday, until 10 p.m. Mall hours the rest of the weekend will be from 8 a.m. until 10 p.m., on Nov. 28 and from 9 a.m. until 8 p.m., on Nov. 29. While shoppers are expected to flock to the outlet mall — which had a splashy opening at the end of October — local businesses may pick up some spinoff trade. Local shops are already reporting that their cash registers are ringing up more FILE PHOTO sales.

at 27217 State Road 56. The triathlon shop is a short hop from the outlet mall, at the interchange of Interstate 75 and State Road 56. Quijano said a man came in the shop after dropping off his wife at the outlet mall. He put his focus on buying sports gear not on hours of outlet mall shopping.“I’m going to have some fun,” Quijano said the man told him. The outlet mall is one half of a retail bookend that could bring more visibility to locally owned and operated shops. Another customer told Quijano that he was driving past heading from The Shops at Wiregrass to Tampa Premium Outlets when he spotted Kona. “I never knew you were here,” the customer said.

As Black Friday approaches, shoppers will scour advertisements for deals and map out a strategy to make the most of savings. And this year, for the first time in Pasco County history, consumers will be able to shop at an outlet mall and a traditional mall within 2 miles of each other. There was a time when the prospect of having a new mall so nearby would have been a cause for concern, said Greg Lenners, general manager at The Shops at Wiregrass. But, that was when plans called for a traditional mall on the land where Tampa Premium Outlets opened on Oct. 29. The landscape of Wesley Chapel has changed dramatically in the seven years since The Shops at Wiregrass opened, Lenners said. Back then, State Road 56 ended at the mall’s entrance to Dillard’s, and Bruce B. Downs was a two-lane road. Now, the area is popping.

State Road 56 has been extended to Meadow Pointe Boulevard, with a proposal to make it four lanes all the way to Zephyrhills. Bruce B. Downs is now a sixlane road. Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel opened 3½ years ago, is undergoing a $78 million expansion, 2 ½ years ahead of schedule. Plus, Lenners noted, there’s an 85,000square-foot medical office building going up next door, Pasco-Hernando State College opened its Porter Campus at Wiregrass Ranch down the street, and there are about 1,000 homes under construction within a 3mile ring of the mall. “You’ve got Estancia. You’ve got The Ridge. Seven Oaks has got a lot of development. You’ve got Arbor Woods. Standard Pacific has a couple of developments on Meadow Pointe, as well, and you’ve got all that coming by the mall,” Lenners said. “All of this is happening in our backyard, everything east of (Interstate) 75,” he said. The primary customers at The Shops at Wiregrass are between the ages of 25 and 44, Lenners said. The average annual house-

hold income ranges from $85,000 to $90,000. And, the mall’s annual performance has improved every year since it opened, Lenners said. The general manager doesn’t view Tampa Premium Outlets as competition to be feared. Instead, he said, “it’s a perfect complement to what we have.” An outlet center typically draws customers from roughly a 50-mile radius, Lenners said, His mall draws from a 10-mile ring. The retail expert expects Tampa Premium Outlet’s longer reach to bring more people into the area, with some of See SHOPPERS, page13A

Toys for Tots returns to deliver holiday cheer By Michael Murillo

mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com

When a doctor told a mother that her son suffering from a muscular diseases needed a bicycle to keep his muscles moving, she turned to the Toys for Tots for help. She couldn’t afford a bicycle, so she went to the organization’s toy distribution event a couple of years ago. “When she got there, she was about the third to the last parent there, and we had

one bike left. We handed that bike to her, and she crumbled right there in front of us,” recalled Herb Roshell, captain of the Toys for Tots efforts in Land O’ Lakes and part of Lutz. “It’s those kinds of experiences that keep us empowered to do this,” he said. The United States Marine Corps Reserve has been doing this for more than 65 years, creating a national program that distributes toys to needy children during the holidays. In Roshell’s area alone, the program has

distributed to more than 500 children from nearly 400 families last year. Each child gets two to three toys, plus games for the family and stocking stuffers. To keep up with this year’s demand, the program is back with its familiar toy dropoff boxes in various businesses in the community. Roshell estimates that around 100 locations will sign up for the boxes, and collect See TOTS, page13A

Parents oppose proposed Elem W boundaries By B.C. Manion

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

Scores of parents from the communities of Arbor Woods and Northwood are opposed to proposed school boundaries that would send their children from their Wesley Chapel community over to Denham Oaks Elementary, in Lutz. About 100 people showed up at a community meeting on Nov. 19 to seek changes to the proposed boundaries for Elementary W, a new school being built off Mansfield Boulevard. They told officials they understand that Seven Oaks Elementary needs relief from overcrowding, but they don’t want their children to be sent to a school in a different community. They raised numerous concerns. They don’t want to contend with the traffic on State Road 56, particularly near Interstate 75. They don’t want their children to leave an A-rated school to go to one with a lower grade. They want their children to have access to the same programs and services that they now enjoy at their current school. They’re concerned about how the shift will affect which middle school and high school their children will attend. And, they question the accuracy of the district’s projections. They want district officials to change the boundaries so children in Arbor Woods and Northwood can attend Sand Pine Elementary, which is closer to where they live. Elementary School W is intended to provide some relief for Seven Oaks and Double Branch elementary schools. It also has some space available to accommodate anticipated growth, said Chris Williams, director of planning for Pasco County Schools.

He told them that Denham Oaks has been making great strides in improving its performance. Ali Soofi, a resident of Arbor Woods, detailed some of the concerns of the Arbor Woods community in an email to The Laker/Lutz News. “All of us knew that eventually we would be rezoned to a different school,” Soofi wrote. “However, none of us realized that we would be moved to a different city. “Zero part of our rationale has to do with any school ratings,” Soofi added. “We just want to stay in Wesley Chapel, where we spend all our time, money, and worship.” The Pasco County School Board has the final word on school boundaries, and it is slated to consider the boundaries at public hearings set for Dec. 1 and Dec. 15.

Expert says jihadist terrorism is world’s No. 1 threat By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

Jihadist terrorism is the No. 1 challenge facing the world, according to retired U.S. Gen. Barry McCaffrey. The recent attacks in Paris brought that reality into stark view. More than 130 people died, and more than 350 were wounded, in a coordinated assault at six locations in Paris. It is an act of terrorism being compared to 9/11 in New York in 2001. The Islamic State of Iraq claimed responsibility for the attack. McCaffrey was clear on one point that has been a lightning rod for opposing views. “This isn’t a Muslim problem. It’s a jihadist problem,” said McCaffrey, a NBC national security analyst. “I would argue that there is not a conflict between Islam and the West.” McCaffrey made his remarks to an estimated crowd of 220 at the Student Community Center at Saint Leo University on Nov. 19. The retired four-star general was the first lecturer for the University Speaker Series. He touched on a wide-ranging list of security issues including ISIS, nuclear proliferation, the future of Cuba post-Fidel Castro, and the tensions between Russia and the United States. During a question and answer period, audience questions focused on ISIS and how

to address its threats. The U.S. exerts great power in the Middle East financially, politically and militarily, McCaffrey said but defeating ISIS, and terrorism in general, is complicated. “It’s much tougher than it looks,” he said. “In the long-term, some of these situations have no solutions. The best strategy becomes containing it, isolating it and waiting it out.” In reference to the barbarism of ISIS and the recent Paris attacks, McCaffrey said, “There is an element of mankind based on cruelty.” McCaffrey has served three White House administrations, including Republicans and Democrats. He describes himself as a nonpartisan observer — who has been in and out of war zones, including Iraq and Afghanistan — who gives objective opinions. After Sept. 11, for instance, he was asked about border security including entry into the U.S. from Mexico and Canada. At the time, the U.S. border patrol numbered less than 4,000 agents. “It was asinine,” McCaffrey said. He recommended 45,000, a number he acknowledges he made up by looking at the New York Police Department, which protects 8 million people. In today’s world, the U.S. needs to maintain air and naval forces that are at least two generations in advance of the technology of other superpowers. But, he said, “We’re not

doing that.” Instead, he said the nation has spent billions on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars that, in his view,“went wrong.” Still, in many ways, the country has never been safer, in part because its diversity and opportunities for success are strengths, McCaffrey said. As a result, America assimilates immigrant populations better than Europe, he added. As an example, McCaffrey noted that Muslim populations in California number about 800,000 residents. In Michigan, there are 450,000 Muslims, and in Virginia, 250,000, he said. “Europe is in trouble, France even more so,” McCaffrey said. “It’s a secular state, and they haven’t dealt with the migrant population very effectively. Mostly, we know how to get along and not talk about religion as a prerequisite for who you are.” On the nuclear arms race, McCaffrey said there are about 30 countries in the hunt to become nuclear states. “No good could come of it,” he said. India and Pakistan, which have had longstanding border disputes, are a potential flash point for the arms race. And, aggression by a nuclear-armed Iran is No. 3 on McCaffrey’s list of “near term” world security challenges. Though he didn’t specifically address the matter, McCaffrey is on record in opposition to the recent nuclear deal struck with Iran.

“There are places on the face of the earth where this is a real threat,” he said. McCaffrey described Russia as a thirdworld country with President Vladimir Putin essentially operating a “criminal oligarchy.” Putin’s aggression in Ukraine remains troubling, the security analyst said. That region, including Bulgaria, the Balkan states and Poland, is part of NATO, and because of that, the U.S. has treaty obligations. “I don’t know if we understand that,” McCaffrey said.“We’re pledged to go to their assistance.” Cuba could present the U.S. with a humanitarian crisis following the death of Fidel Castro, he predicted. McCaffrey anticipates a violent struggle for power post-Castro. “They (Cubans) will want freedom,” he said.“They will want to get out of there.” One bright spot for the U.S., is its decreasing dependence for oil on the Middle East countries. Currently, McCaffrey said our major oil suppliers are companies in the U.S., Mexico, Canada and Venezuela. “This is a good news story,” he said. But, there is a caveat. McCaffrey said the U.S. has no coherent energy policy to address pressing issues such as mass transit and expanding our capacity at ports. But, McCaffrey isn’t without hope. “We’ll blunder into it, as we normally do,” he said.

Pasco County commissioners approved a resolution seeking a state legislative moratorium on hydraulic fracking, and a study commission to review the pros and cons of the controversial method of drilling for oil and natural gas. According to the resolution, public hearings also should be held, and the study commission should include representatives from the Florida Association of Counties, environmental groups, concerned citizens, and the oil and gas industries. But, it took some heavy editing to reach a consensus at the commissioners’ meeting on Nov. 17. Commissioners deleted several passages on scientific data that troubled Pasco Chairwoman Kathryn Starkey. “I would like to get two sides of the scientific data,” she said.“I’ve only had one.” However, she added, “I think we all want a moratorium.” Pasco County Commissioner Mike Moore also has mixed feelings on the issue. But, he said,“I think there does need to be a study.” During fracking, chemically treated highpressure water is pumped into a drilled pipeline to break apart rock formations to extract oil or natural gas. Supporters say fracking is a safer extraction method than mining for coal, and provides a cleaner source of fuel. Opponents say fracking leads to water contamination, and increases the risks of sinkholes and earthquakes. Garden club members had hoped for a more forceful resolution from Pasco’s commissioners, but said they were glad the commissioners brought attention to the issue. The club members are concerned about

Pat Carver, environmental chairwoman of the Dade City Garden Club, at the podium, asked Pasco County commissioners to support a statewide ban on hydraulic fracking.

State and House bills expected to be voted on during the 2016 legislative session that begins in January. The bills place control of fracking with the state, leaving local governments with no “opt out” clause. Such a clause is among the requests in the county’s approved resolution. But, when Starkey inquired if the state legislature could deny home rule, Pasco County Attorney Jeffrey Steinsnyder said, “Yes. They’re the state legislature.” The bills also require a $1 million study of the risks and hazards of fracking by the state’s Department of Environmental Protection. The study would be due by June 30, 2017. The DEP then could adopt rules for issuing permits for fracking. “There is no moratorium,” said Pat Carver, environmental chairwoman of the garden club, referring to the proposed state legislation. The bills aim to write the rules to approve fracking, said Peggy Woods, a garden club member. “Once the horse is out the barn, there’s nothing else we can do,” she said.

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Land O’ Lakes/Lutz Home for Sale Land o Lakes/Lutz - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you shoul know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That's why it's critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse,

turn prospective buyers away altogether. In most cases, you can make a reasonable pre-inspection yourself if you know what you're looking for, and knowing what you're looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones. To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled "11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection" has been compiled which explains the issues involved. To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free 1-800-244-0174 and enter 1003. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Get your free special report NOW to learn how to ensure a home inspection doesn't cost you the sale of your home.

Lose Weight And Live Longer Special to The Laker / Lutz News

When people come to Medi-Weightloss in Lutz for help losing weight, many are surprised by the clinic’s focus on health. “Losing weight is all about your health. It’s the most important reason to lose weight,” said Gerri Willett, owner and manager of the clinic on SR 54 and Oak Grove Boulevard. “For every 10 pounds someone loses, it increases their life by one-and-a-half years.” That translates into living an additional five years for the average Medi-Weightloss patient, who typically loses 35 pounds while on the program. “We tell our patients to forget about losing weight because of their appearance. We want them to think first about losing weight to improve their health,” said Gerri. The Lutz MediWeightloss clinic, which is owned by Gerri, her husband Tom, and Mark and Ronda Willett, is celebrating its 10th year. Their clinic has helped hundreds of area people regain their health by losing weight with MediWeightloss’ proven threestep program: “We understand that losing weight is very difficult — perhaps one of the most difficult things one can do,” said Gerri. “We’re here to guide our patients through all three phases of weight loss, and then continue supporting them so they don’t gain their weight back.” When meeting the staff at MediWeightloss, the first thing many people notice is their empathy and sincere support. The medical doctors, who focus on weight loss, and their health care assistants

view being overweight as a medical problem that can be just as serious as diabetes and other chronic conditions. “People who have never been overweight don’t understand that losing weight is very difficult, and often mistakenly believe it’s a lack of discipline,” said Gerri. “Our staff truly understands the challenges of losing weight, because most of them were our patients before they became employees.” Studies show that obese people are more impulsive, are procrastinators and falsely believe they can lose weight by themselves, Gerri said. “So many people come to us caught up in a negative circle, where they lose a few pounds, only to gain it back because they eat out of stress or frustration,” said Gerri. Most of the patients at Medi-Weightloss are women, and most have between 30 and 50 lbs. to lose. But, many men also are clients and do very well on the program. “Anyone who does our program correctly, will lose weight,” said Gerri, who said most clients lose their weight in three to four months. “Patients usually see a weight loss of 8 to 10 pounds in the first week, and then 2 to 3 pounds a week after that. It really does work!” As a patient’s body adjusts to their new weight, it becomes healthier, and the person feels the best they have in years with more energy, and fewer aches and pains. “The longer a patient maintains their goal weight, the easier it gets to keep it off,” said Gerri. “If our program didn’t work, we would not still be in operation 10 years after we opened our Lutz clinic.”

Randy Surber, the hospital’s President and CEO, presided over the ceremony. The mural covers an entire wall off the hospital’s main entrance, and represents the Tree of Life and is consistent with the

Christian values upon which the nonprofit hospital is based. Eight large monitors have been interspersed within the tree and change to reflect tranquil nature scenes. The mural was more than a year in the making, and is the first of its kind at Florida Hospital.

OUTLETS, from page 1A Property Group, booked rooms for its team members. People from corporate headquarters are still flying in, said Todd Patrick, the hotel’s general manager. But, reservations don’t have to come from long-distance travelers. Patrick said a woman from Spring Hill booked a night at the hotel within the past week because she wanted to get an early start on her shopping. Overall, he said, “It’s hard to gauge. But, there are a few people making reservations to shop.” That can happen, apparently, even when the drive from home is only 30 minutes. The shopping season is expected to be strong as it officially kicks off on Black Friday, according to recent surveys by the International Council of Shopping Centers. Sales should increase about 3.3 percent, according to one survey. Another consumer survey showed customers plan to spend $702 on average for holiday gifts, an increase from $677 in 2014.

“It’s a pretty sizable jump,” said Jesse Tron, spokesman for the council. Consumers are feeling pretty good. “It should produce what should be a very strong season.” So, cash registers will be jingling at The Shops at Wiregrass and Tampa Premium Outlets. There really is no direct competition between them, but there is the potential for people who come to one venue to drive on over to the other,Tron said. “The two are different kinds of shopping trips,” he added. Local malls typically are destinations for area residents who stop by once or twice a week. Outlets malls draw regionally from shoppers who make it a day trip and stay for hours. But, he said, “(Local) malls are increasingly looking at becoming experience destinations. They may add unique dining and entertainment options. It’s not necessarily about retail. It’s adding the extra layer. Local malls and shopping centers are very invested in their community.” For more information on holiday shopping hours for Tampa Premium Outlets, visit PremiumOutlets.com/outlet/tampa/about.

SHOPPERS, from page 1A those people deciding to check out The Shops at Wiregrass, at State Road 56 and Bruce B. Downs Boulevard. “The benefit for us is that customers that wouldn’t have come typically all of the way up here to visit — from Tampa, or some outer-lying areas — now they’ll come to the outlet (mall),” Lenners said. The Shops at Wiregrass, just 2 miles away from Tampa Premium Outlets, will likely serve customers who want to eat at its restaurants or explore additional shopping options, he said. The addition of Tampa Premium Outlets has not prompted The Shops at Wiregrass to rethink its game plan or amp up its events, Lenners said. “We’ve established ourselves as a staple of the community, and that’s because of the events that we do,” he said. For example, this is the eighth holiday season that The Shops at Wiregrass has hosted “Symphony in Lights.” This year, the show, presented by Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel, has been revamped. But, that’s not because of the new outlet mall, Lenners said. The old tree wouldn’t work with current technology, and problems cropped up when it rained, Lenners said.

TOTS, from page 1A new, unwrapped toys for children of various ages. The U.S. Postal Service also will collect toys that residents leave out by their mailboxes on Dec. 5. Toys will be distributed Dec. 19 at the Land O’ Lakes Community Center, 5401 Land O’ Lakes Blvd., beginning at 8 a.m. Those toys might not seem like much in the big picture, but to a mother struggling to provide for her family or a child who sees their peers with gifts, it means a lot. “If we didn’t have it, it would really hurt our community a lot,” Roshell said. His wife, Stephanie, knows that firsthand. As a young single mother, she used Toys for Tots when she moved and found out her job had been eliminated. She now spends her time helping those in need, and recognizes the empowerment of simple kindnesses. “I was homeless as a teenager and vowed that if I ever came out of my poverty state that I would never, ever forget about the children and the youth that are struggling,” Stephanie said. “I’ve stood in their shoes before, and I know personally how it made me feel, so I want them to feel that same sense of gratification that I felt.”

PHOTO COURTESY OF BOB LORING

Toys are laid out so parents and guardians can go ‘shopping’ and choose the right toys for their children. They depend on drop-off boxes at local businesses and the Dec. 5 postal service pickup for the bulk of donations.

Parents or guardians who utilize Toys for Tots feel like they’re shopping when the toys are selected. At the distribution center Dec. 19, they get assistance from “deputized elves” to help pick out just the right gift for their children. The “elves” are volunteers who meet with regional coordinator Bob Loring, and pledge to offer support and encouragement at the event to help parents choose gifts. Just being able to provide some holiday cheer for their family boosts family bonds, according to the Roshells.

“It bridges that gap in the family, so the child is looking to that parent as still being that hero,” Stephanie said. For those parents to remain heroes, the Roshells and many others in the Toys for Tots program work hard to make each year a success. In the Land O’ Lakes area they expect to collect 1,700 to 2,000 items for distribution. And, unless there’s a large need elsewhere or they have a surplus, the toys donated within the community, stay here. While individuals and businesses are gen-

The new tree is 54 feet tall, including the star, and is about 27 feet in diameter. “The presentation is much more dramatic,” Lenners said. There are four shows a night, with music from the Trans-Siberian Orchestra for two shows and a mix of holiday songs — that were suggested by mall shoppers — for the other two. In between the sound and light shows, local groups give live performances on a stage in the mall’s center court, in front of the giant Christmas tree. That’s been a tradition for years. “Every night, there’s a different group. They’ve got their 45 minutes of fame,” Lenners said. The mall will continue to have assorted events, including the Suncoast Arts Festival, car shows, fresh markets and charity walks for various causes, Lenners said. It also continues to consider new possibilities. “We’re constantly evolving things. We’re massaging. We’re constantly looking at events: What works? What doesn’t? What’s starting to get stale?” Lenners said. Having the Tampa Premium Outlets and The Shops at Wiregrass in such convenient proximity adds to the Wesley Chapel area’s growing cache, Lenners said. “We’re turning into a shopping mecca, destination. You can pretty much make a day of it,” Lenners said.

erous with donations, there are specific needs each year that pose a challenge. Children between 8 and 12, especially boys, usually receive the least donations, Herb Roshell said. Boys that age like handheld games and girls enjoy makeup kits, and Toys for Tots wants to make sure there are enough to go around. The postal service pickup is an important method of toy collection, but response has dropped off in recent years. The postal service doesn’t cover the organization’s postage anymore, so it’s up to them to get the word out about the Dec. 5 collection date. Helping those in need makes Dec. 19 a special day for families who wouldn’t otherwise have presents for their children. And, it’s pretty special for the Toys for Tots family, too, since they get to see their efforts pay off with a bounty of gifts going to local homes, making families’ holidays a little brighter. For people like Stephanie Roshell, who has been on both sides, it’s an important part of the holiday season. For information about the Toys for Tots program, and to find out how to apply for assistance, contact the Roshells at loltoysfortots@gmail.com or call (813) 7135197.

Therapy horse farm faces possible closure By B.C. Manion

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

s Beverly Levitt walks around the 8-acre horse farm in Wesley Chapel, she talks to the animals. There’s Moe and Clint. Chino and Cracker. Moon Light and Fancy. Renegade and Baby Bobby. There’s Brandy, Fagozee, Cooper and Pixie. Some of them, including Pixie and Moon Light, have been at Healing Horses, One Child at a Time Inc., since the horse rescue began six years ago. As Levitt steps around the farm, in her shin-high rubber boots, she talks about the horses’ temperaments. Chino arrived at the farm on Sept. 22 and has gained more than 100 pounds since. Pixie, a pony, “has the Napoleon Syndrome,” Levitt said.“She runs this place.” Renegade, “was completely wild when he came here. They had turned him loose on the side of the road in Hernando County,” she said. Some horses have medical conditions. One has chronic ulcers. Another, narcolepsy. One has endured dozens of surgeries. Fagozee, a former racehorse, had been sent off for auction, but was saved and Levitt wound up with him. “He has cancer. His days are numbered. As long as he’s comfortable and happy, we’ll keep him as healthy as we can; and when his time comes, we’ll put him out.” The horse rescue began when Levitt suddenly ‘inherited’ 11 horses. She knew she would be taking in six, but didn’t anticipate getting nearly double that number. At first, she was irritated. She was worried, too, about being saddled with so much responsibility. “They were in bad shape,” Levitt said. “I thought, ‘Oh my God, I’m a blue collar person, what am I going to do?’ ” But then, during the middle of the night, she was inspired. “I’d been a scout leader many years before, and we had always taken the ADD (attention deficit disorder) kids, the ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) kids — my husband and I, before he passed away. “We had always wanted a center for kids with special needs,” she said.

Pixie, shown here with Lynn Oliver, has been living at Healing Horses. Oliver is vice president of the nonprofit organization.

Beverly Levitt and Moe, a rescue horse at Healing Horses, One Child at a Time Inc., a horse rescue operation in Wesley Chapel.Moe is at least 25 years old and has undergone at least 30 surgeries, Levitt said. He’s an Appendix, which is a quarter horse crossed with a thoroughbred.

Meanwhile, she also was blessed with a special needs grandchild. “I have met hundreds of families (with special needs children). I had a full understanding of what just the therapeutic equipment needed by these children cost, and it’s not covered by insurance,” she said. So, she decided to use the horses to provide therapy. Over the years, roughly 50 horses have spent time at the rescue. Some are there now. Some have been adopted. Some have died. During that same time, hundreds of kids have spent time working the horses, riding them, observing them, walking them and bathing them. One recent day, Caitlin Okolovitch, who attends Land O’ Lakes High School, was working Brandy. Okolovitch found out about Healing Horses when she and her mom were doing an Internet search to find a horse rescue. The teenager wants to work with horses. She began volunteering at Healing Horses when she was in middle school. “When I first came out here, it was awesome, and I never wanted to leave,” the 15-year-old said. “A lot of the kids coming here make bonds with the horses,” she said.

Fancy is taking it easy. The quarter horse, now over 20 years old, has lived at the stable for more than five years. She has chronic ulcer problems.

Brandy is the horse that Levitt uses as a therapy horse for teenagers, she said. Kids can relate to the horses. Devin Clark, another regular at the farm, has a special bond with a horse named Baby Bobby. The 12-year Clark saddlebroke Baby Bobby, Levitt said. He was at the farm recently giving the horse a bath. Clark said he enjoys working the Baby Bobby, and he thinks other kids like coming to Healing Horses, too. Levitt said the horses have helped all sorts of kids. Some have had scrapes with the law. Others just love being around horses. Some come from as Devin Clark gives Baby Bobby a bath. Baby Bobby is a pony nearby as Zephyrhills, and that was wild when he came to the farm.
