To abcquertyxyz and Dressage, you are clearly wrong about sparks trading post inc. Yes, the horses are skinny. and yes, they are from auctions. They ARE old, and it IS hard to keep weight on them. I agree that better feed could be provided, and floating of their teeth as well. But do you have any idea of how much that stuff costs? Especially while trying to keep a bussiness running, with 60+ horses, and other farm animals. It costs alot of money. Their feet do get done, but the horses are trail horses, so their feet get warn down quick. I know for a fact that the stalls get done more than once a week, as i am very good friends with most of the staff there. I ride there all the time, and have helped out as well. Ive seen first hand how they do things, and those horses are happy. At the end of the day, the horses are unsaddled, grained, hosed off, walked around and turned out to the pasture. there is plenty of grass, and hay for them to eat, as well as a full water tub for them to drink out of. Peter Sparks does not think that the horses are money making machines. He loves them. Also there is always water in front of the horse to drink, it is filled 2-3 times a day. I love STP and im a proud customer. The trails are beautiful and the horses are great.
Pros: Beautiful trails, well- broke horses, nice staff
Cons: .
