Dream Walker Ranch Las Vegas I was misled about the training that this horse has received. Las Vegas, NV Nevada
I read the testimonials on the website and like a fool I believed them. I bought Ranger for 6900.00 dollars. Jennifer said that these horses never have problems. I couldn't ride the horse right away as he arrived skinny and had a bad cough and cold. Also the weather was very, very cold and the holidays were here.
However, my trainer came and rode the horse. He has a good mind, but he was in a bit that was far too advanced for him. He needed a snaffle. He knows no ground work. His shoes had been on him for a very long time. He does not respond to any leg cues. He is mellow so I'm sure that's why they advertised him as a good horse for a beginner and very forgiving.
My 8 year old mustang is much better trained and sensitive. Now I am stuck with an expensive horse who I will have to begin at the beginning with. I feel totally ripped off and it is my fault. I should have read more about these people.
Buyer beware

Ranger is a very good horse!
I was wrong for being too quick to say what I did, and I apologize to Jenn and her husband. I am impulsive, however, after a long cold winter we are now riding Ranger and working with him, and he is a fantastic horse. He is very calm, loves people, works hard, tries to please, and is so smooth and wonderful to ride. Please Jenn, accept my apology. He is a hard working wonderful, safe horse. He has a forever home here...Mary Lou

I am very impulsive! I took my new horse Ranger out today on a trail ride with another horse. He was very good. I guess that he is advertised for beginners because all he really knows how to do is plow rein. He doesn't know the leg cues, etc. He does have a very good "whoa". So I would have to rebut my first statements..apologize to Jenn and just say that it is a good thing to go ride a horse before you buy it. However, I don't believe that Ranger is dangerous, just not finished.
I also need to add that I took his shoes off when he arrived, and have been riding him barefoot. He has very good feet my farrier said.
