DuPage forest investigates complaints of horse neglect at Danada | |
March 13, 2012 Volunteers concerns about alleged mistreatment of some horses at the Danada Equestrian Center in Wheaton have sparked an investigation by the DuPage Forest Preserve District. A letter signed by 34 current and former volunteers at Danada was sent to all members of the forest preserve commission in mid-November, saying workers are concerned with the well-being of the horses, the loss of educational opportunities and the lack of consideration and regard shown to the volunteers by managerial staff. The letter contained a nearly five-page attachment outlining specific concerns with Danada management since 2010, including claims the medical needs of six horses were neglected.
