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.
