While my husband and I were in Aruba on an ATV tour of the island, we cam across a company called Rancho Del Campo that provided scenic horseback riding tours. When I saw the horses, they were extremely emaciated. Their hip bones and back bones were protruding. A few of the horses eye lids were droopy from infection, they weren't properly shoed and they had oozing & bloody wounds all over their legs. When the horses were "tied up for rest", the reps giving the tours started to kick a horse. The horses weren't given any water and were eating the wooden posts they were tied up to. These horses were extremely depressed and lethargic. I hope that PETA can investigate this and put a stop to this business. The horses were exhausted, emaciated and thirsty.    

www.ranchodelcampo.com IS THE WEBSITE!  I strongly urge EVERYONE - not to use this company!

Oh. That's really sad. Tks for sharing. I hope they will do better by the horses.

Thank you for the warning about this place! It sounds like a terrible service. :(
