Hi Stephanie,
As a fellow animal lover, I would not support any business that abused or neglected their animals. As consumers, it is our responsibility to speak with our voice and our dollars if an operation isn’t treating their animals with respect. Thanks for your comment.

To all who loves horses and horseback riders,

I don’t think that these tourist places are all that humane. I was in the Bahamas a few years ago. I wanted to take a carriage ride through Nassau, but one look at these poor horses conditions were not acceptable. Emaciated, tired and holding up their legs one at a time. I felt like I was watching Gone With The Wind, when she kills the poor horse on their way back to Tara. Their Shoes were very worn and some looked like they had not been watered or fed in a long time. I wanted to do something, but what? Watch out for the natives treatment of their animals!!!

Sorry the horseback riding didn’t work out on Cozumel – I have a friend (who also loves horses!) who did the horseback riding tour on their stopover in Cozumel and she really loved it and said that the lunch (included) was great. Oh well, maybe next time!
