Boy oh boy talk about mal treatment to guests and animals. These animals are obviously ill and hurting. The guides don't care one bit. We brought up their coughs and injuries and they said it was fine. My horse coughed up massive loogie and the whole time was coughing constantly. Kept asking guide and again brushed off.
