[QUOTE="Kathie in Thorp, post: 908013, member: 16769"] I've owned truly bomb-proof horses before. The last "bomb proof" that I bought a couple years ago was very quiet, calm at introduction and try-out . Not so when we got him home. He dumped me -- actually flew me pretty high -- with no provocation except "move." On the ground, he was a total gentleman. The seller purported to be 70-something and the owner/trainer. Well, after the fact, and after the wreck, in doing some research, figured out that this guy goes to sales, turns horses over fast. And doesn't raise/train any of them. And we found other people that had been screwed by the guy -- 10 or so that just came up via Craigslist posts. So, several of us across E. WA that had been taken by this guy started cross-posting warnings every time he put a horse up for sale. One of the "screwee's" lived in the same neighborhood, so it was easy for her to identify pics of the horses on the place, even when he tried to change his advertizing, because the horse matched the horse pictured on the place. Have not seen anything for sale from him for over a year. Does my little heart good! [/QUOTE]
