Ohkay, I boarded at sparks for about 7 years. Yes, some of the horses are in bad shape, but really ive MYSELF put creams on them and cleaned out there stalls, walked ect. And who ever said that its not hard to put weight on an old horse is completely out of there mind, i have an old man right now that ive had for two years that gets 6 scoops a day + 3 flakes of alfalfa and hes put on hardly any weight. and the vets even say that he probably wont, cuz again it IS HARD TO PUT WEIGHT ON OLD HORSES. No they dont do everything right, and no im sure they dont have enough money to do there feet all the time, and they shouldnt ride lame horses,. But its not like they dont TRY, if you go there and see some of the ribby horses, yes its MAINLY cuz there OLD, old horses are mostly safe, and well broken. We did a trade years back and i get updated pictures and she has not lost any weight and is prefectly good health. So for all you people that go there and just see the looks realize that mabye they do try and you just wanna see other wize.
Pros: They try hard and do what they can. Good amount of horses are in good weight.
Cons: They shouldnt be riding lame horses.
