My horses were starved:
I moved my horses there in 2003, when the old owners still had the place and it was fantastic. When they sold it to Cindy the place went downhill, she made improvements to the property which was nice, but at least it is my belief that she stopped feeding well in order to make up the cost. When I brought my horse to fort collins with me for college, people commented on her weight, and when I came back down to the springs my other horse was completely emaciated. I could fit my fingers between her ribs. Cindy claimed that she had worms, so I had a fecal float done by a vet, which confirmed that she was worm free. When I confronted Cindy about this she stated that she didn't understand how my horse could be losing weight when she was feeding her the same amount that "kept her at a good weight" and then told me that she would have to charge me extra in order to feed my horse the proper ammount of feed. Needless to say I moved them as soon as I could, and the new boarding facility was astounded at how emaciated both horses were, both had to be put on special diets to get their weight back up to a healthy level. Unless Cindy has changed her feeding habits since June of 2009 I would tell every boarder to stay away from her establishment unless they are willing to kick in the extra money to feed their horse themselves.
