I have known everyone at this organization for many many years, both two and four-legged. You will not find a more caring loving atmosphere for the animals here. Their health and nurturing comes first to all who care for these animals day in and day out. I love being there and the peace that is felt.. this organization and its founder, have stepped up for horses in need when no one else would.
I adopted a 10 year old retired racehorse from Equestrian Inc. My horse spent most of his life at the racetrack and he is a little difficult to handle sometimes if you are not experienced with horses. I tried to board him at another facility but it did not work out and Equestrian Inc. welcomed him back (injured at the time) and now I board him there. There are other horses that came back for various reasons. Caring for retired TBs can be a challenge and not all facilities understand them and know how to make them happy and minimize the injuries. Equestrian Inc. makes whatever adjustments are needed to care for the special needs of each horse.
Any horse lovers out there that want more experience this is a great place to learn.
This organization holds a very special place in my heart. Many animals have had a second chance and a great life thanks to Equestrian Inc!
St. Petersburg College students volunteer at this facility and absolutely enjoy the hospitality of Glenda and friends. It is kind of sad that a disgruntled former volunteer, whose horses basically boarded for free, felt that this is a forum to air her discontent because the non-profit could no longer afford to feed and hay her horses. When she was asked to fulfill her obligation to "volunteer" in exchange for board, she became disgruntled and left. Of course, there is a lot of sand, it is called Florida, but there is a wonderful swimming hole that the horses love. Also, faithful donations keep the horses stocked with wonderful hay to munch on. Of course donations pay for medicine, vet bills, hay and feed, but it is the volunteers that come out to clean stalls,fix fences, lunge the horses, and brush and groom them, who provide a valuable service.
