Emergency Shelter Information for Equines and Livestock Evacuations

The Escambia County Equestrian Center accepts horses and most types of livestock needing to evacuate during hurricanes and other weather emergencies. 

We will accept evacuees during hurricanes as long as the Escambia County and Pensacola, FL area remains unaffected and is not a mandatory evacuation zone.

We accept evacuees on a *first come, first serve basis ONLY* to allow for last-minute changes.

Current fee policy: unless normal fees are waived by the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners, fees are as follows:

  • RV/camper sites with 30/50amp service and water (some sites are full hookup with sewer hookup) are $20.25/night
  • 12x12 stalls are $18.28/first night and discounted subsequent nights. You do Not have to strip/clean your stall upon final departure - we take care of that
  • Shavings are $7/bag. You may bring your own or buy from us 

Prices include taxes. Payment will be collected (cash or check only) when you arrive. Stall and RV/camper sites will be assigned and unlocked when you arrive. 

As weather events are extremely fluid situations, double-check our opening status before leaving for our facility by contacting us for updates. If we are close to or have reached our capacity level, we update our voicemails and FB page.
