i love the idea of juro. i boarded my horse out there for a long time, and led trail rides as well, until my horse developed behavioral problems, such as an irrational fear of men.
the place itself is not healthy for the horses. the clientele are wonderful, but it is true that the horses are overworked, and mistreated by some staff.
the spca needs to investigate.
if you are interested in riding there--and it truly is beautiful--do your homework. meet the owners. ask questions. come to your own conclusions. spend some time with the horses.
please the check the horses' feet before you think about riding. so many of them have bad feet, and are in no condition to be ridden at all.
