i have worked at sparks for a year now its not the best place for the horses but they do get a second chance on life. the summer at sparks hasent been the best so there hasent been a lot of money. so if there isint a lot of money then its harder to feed the horses. but they still get fed there is always hay in there maingers and they get grained 2 times a day even three if they have been working. I do admit the horses there are old and some are thin but it is VERY hard to get weight on them esspecially when most are older like in their 30`s. they do live in good conditions when their in the stalls they are always clean at least once a week if not more. the horses are well behaved and they always do their job when asked.then everyday when we close they get tended to. ointment gets put on sores and other cuts, they all get grained hosed off ,walked, absorbing(like icy hot) gets put on their joints if they seem to be hurting or swollen then they all get to go outside to run around and eat grass and hay. when their outside there is always food for them to eat and water for the horses to drink.so all in all sparks is a nice place for the horses to be \r

for one thing sweetheart, if a horse is in its stall it needs to be cleaned at least once a DAY not a week. Also if a horse is as skinny as those guys, you should not ride them. If you do not ride them in that condition you will save buckets on your so called ointment. I have ridden with top people in the industry and know my stuff. This place sickens me. Those horses are yalls bread and butter, treat them as such, not as junk. Glad they were taken away. Yall deserved it. And by the way, the only true way to help an older horse out with joint soreness is supplements like Glucosomine or MSM. Not just ABSORBINE! That stuff can tear a horses skin up if used to much. Yall are just unknowing people, go to some sort of school to learn more about horses then talk to me.
