The horses are all well fed and taken care of. Wound care is performed daily on any injuries encountered and managed by a veterinarian. The roof she claims is missing ( post Ian) has been repaired and in place for several years. All these accusations are patently false and posted with malicious intent. We are a hard working group of horse lovers and do our best everyday to make sure the animals are well cared for.

I went to this looking to lease a horse or board a horse and I found absolutely deplorable…read moreconditions in the main barn and the back barn. Had most of its roof missing from a storm. I believe they have reroofed that Barn. Anyway, the stalls were way too tiny. The could not even turn around in them. They had taken like 12 x 12 stalls and split them in half. They didn't have any kind of bedding in the stalls for the horses and the horses were standing on a thick layer of manure throughout the entire stall. The looked depressed and unhealthy. I saw many with open sores. One of them was so bad that this owner of this facility should have been thrown in jail For. I would never recommend this place to anyone. What your children are learning here is really bad management and the lesson program is not very good either. I would definitely look for another location for your children or for your personal .

Youth coaches work with one or two kids at a time in small sailboats. Although sailing is challenging, students master it after a few hours of coaching. Being able to sail your own boat builds character and confidence. Only $200 per week, ESA summer camp is an excellent value.

I took one of Captain Danny Latham's fishing charters and it was a terrific experience. Captain…read moreDanny is very professional and works as hard as any fishing guide I have been with(and I have been with quite a few in Florida, Minnesota and Alaska). He always seems to be able to find fish including tarpon (in season), snook, redfish and trout and even some pompano, mackerel and snapper. Captain Danny is always on time and always gives you your money's worth whether it is an all day or half day charter. I believe he has a number of regular clients because of his expertise and ability to always catch fish. I highly recommend Captain Danny to anyone looking to have a great experience fishing in Southwest Florida.
