WELL THATS` ALL I HAVE TO SAY SO BYE-BYE MA23 AND SPOTTEDSILLY GOOD LUCK WITH THE WHLOE MESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why didn't you as a buyer have your own vet do a pre purchase exam done? Aging a grade horse is only a guess at best, no matter who does it.

I'm not taking sides here but you should be responsible for your own choices. I sell horses myself as well as having a "real" job. I've bought horses myself that turned out to be older then they were supposed to be too. Horse sales are tough enough when everything is as it is supposed to and there will always be disputes...God, knows I've had my own...

One way to look at this is that if the horse is riding he's actually worth more as a 13 yr old than as a younger horse in todays market. Maybe the seller could take the horse back and resell the horse and pay the buyer back after the horse has been resold. Just a thought.

I would have tried to re-sell the horse but Tara claims I should pay her 500.00 back on the cost of the horse since the age was wrong. I dont dispute the age could be wrong,I am just mad as heck because I'm being called a liar and purposely lied about his age and that wasnt the case. I would rather have an older horse as well and he would have beenworth more just like you said earlier. Tara says she is keeping the horse, now if she is keeping the horse what more can I do other than appologize? And now i'm assused of "useing my daughter"? Yea,she rides them,she loves it so whats the big deal? How many others on here dont have friends,kids,neighbors,spouses ride the orses while they take a picture? Thers no harm in that. I appoligized for the wrong age........there is nothing more I can do. I'm not going to give anyone back part of the money and them keep the horse and neither would anyone else. Being childish because someone is upset is not the answer. And lets set the record straight, anyone who is computer savy should be able to tell that carol2005 is not me. I dont know who she is but she has the right attitude. So what,somebody made a mistake and now they are the worse person in the world........geesh people..get real

I don't claim you should pay me that, I'm going off what YOU claimed...I was calling about another horse you had for sale and you said Chance was so much more because he was only 7 and the other horse was 12...then when I told you his age you agreed that paying that much for him was too much and you would research your old emails to see who you bought him from...it went from you knowing the breeder and him from birth to you not remembering who you bought him from.

You can end this all right here by simply giving me the name of who you bought him from...the truth will come out.

YEs I said I would search my old emails and see who I bought him from and to be honest I havent looked to hard because you came on here like a blasted idiot and went crazy. The horse came from my house and there is no registration on him so you'll have to take my word about him. Yea, I owned him for several years,I never questioned his age cause I didnt care. My kids rode him and I could have cared less if he was 7,10, or 27 yrs old! I told you what I was told and by what the vet agreed was right(and I dont give one damn what he told you) I was standingt here and I know what he told me. My point is.......if he is older than you just got a better horse outa the deal. I never said I would give you any money back and I certainly never said he should cost more because he is younger and that dosent even make sence to me. Everyone wants a more experienced horse,well most people do anyway. Some want young horses but a seasoned,been there and done that kinda horse is always worth more so why would I tell you he was worth more by being younger? Maybe you are confused,I;m calling you a liar but I certainly wouldnt have told you that. You emailed me and said yu would refrain from this by me giving you back 500.00 of your money. Who in the world would do that?

I would like to add this, I grew up on a ranch in Colorado with very knowledgable horsemen and vets. Meaning everyone more or less knew what they were talking about when it came to horses. To make a long story short a good vet will examine the entire horse including the teeth for the fact that the teeth are a vital part of a horses overall health (and I don't think I need to explain why). A lazy vet that doesn't really give to wacks with a stick about his job or just doesn't know what he's doing will over look such a vital part of the horse. Plus a good trainer should know better then to over look a horses mouth. I know its a popular saying 'Don't look a gift horse in the mouth' but a horse your buying COME ON NOW!!! I would say that either you need a new vet and trainer or you need to do a little thing called educate yourself. Because there are far to many people that will take advantage of ignorance or just plain ignorant themselves and just don't know a gosh darn thing about horses. Moral of the story is do your research THOROUGHLY next time, and don't go after the seller for a mistake you made, because honestly it's not SpottedSilly's fault that you didn't do a good check of the horse. I know that she should have told the truth or been more horse literate whichever the case may be but you are still responsible for make informed descisions.

oh Dandy,
You missed a 20 PAGE post on this. The mods took it off because it got UGLY. Basically, it was the latter of your thoughts. :wink:

[DandyDiamondDee]

Probably a good thing what I read was pretty ugly. That's why all the horses I've ever personally owned came from well-known breeders or people who had a good proven reputation to be horse savy. Anymore horse selling and buying has become far too akin to sly sales men just trying to move a product.

Lets take responsibility for the horses we buy...vets can be wrong, I have had a good vet say our registered horses are one age on one side of the mouth and one on the other. $800 for any horses is auction price. With all the problems at the sales, be glad someone is working with you. No one has to disclose where a horse comes from. That is the dealers business wehre they buy horses. We need to at least break even on some horses, with the price of grain, hay, shoeing etc. Don't hate anyone for trying to get a fair price, and of course no refunds at those prices at any age of the horse. As far as kids on horses, we have a lot of kids riding at our farms and if the parents approve they love getting pics taken, shows a kids horse is a kids horse, I will if the parents say okay. It is called marketing, something most business have to do to sell horses, cars, vacuum cleaners, etc. I don't know any of you, but this bickering is silly. As one person said, lick your wounds, learn a lesson, age your own horse, and move on. We all have to at times. I just bought a horse at a sale that was drugged myself. Two weeks later, wheewwwww....a different horse for sure. I don't blame anyone, that is the breaks..NY horse sales

When a poster posts thousands of messages, there is no way for them tor keep their stories straight. Some people find honesty, just not that exciting . Therefore, you find glaring excesses and unfulfilled dreams and ambition's
that keeps their adrenalin running at full steam. Never attempt to debate with them as they are true believers with their lofty and undisciplined desires.
