Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?

These people are the worst kind, go to church every Sunday so they rip off people the other six. They act like they care about horses and people. When the only thing they care about is money. They will say anything to make a sale. They even try to get a pity buy, by telling people about losing their daughter in an auto accident. When they are trying to sell a horse that's not safe. They are shysters, their out for whatever they can get for nothing or next to nothing. When you trade horses they say they are only worth $200 or less. All the horses have some kind of issue, behavior or they are not sound. They sold horses that coliced a day before. They neglect the horse hooves, they know nothing about them. They don't like to pay for anything, especially the people that ride for them. They are too afraid to ride the horses they get because of not knowing what they will do. The best advice is to never get involved with them, buying anything or doing anything for them. They wait to tell you that they don't have any money after you do work for them, or say they will pay after the jobs done. They owe me a pile of money, I stayed because I felt bad for the horses. They were neglected and abused. If a horse would act out Danny would lock it in the trailer for a days or weeks. Then if they would act up on lead line, he would have them run in to a tree or the wall. These are not good people. The are ex-car salesman. So they know what to say to people. If you can't ride the horse there, your not going to at your house. They make excuses if the horses doesn't ride right or you can't ride it. I would never buy a kid's horse off of them. The sold a BLIND green pony to a 6yr old little girl. She almost got kicked and the pony bucked with her on. They DO NOT CARE WHO GETS HURT!

To begin with, never was I told from the beginning how bad things were financially. Never once did they say NOT to come, I'm not going to pay you if you do. It was a little over 3 years of my life I spent there. Then to find out off of other people " I was crippled up and liked to help out when I get the chance." Danny is very short tempered and has not patience with horses. Was always told " When we sell some horses , I'll get you caught up."

The last straw was he got a load of horses and never gave me a cent. But it doesn't matter, I can't ride anymore and have medical bills from not being able to afford insurance I can't pay. My time was wasted on people that never appreciated it. Along with all the mooching, using as*holes especially the ones in Newburg.

Please allow me to explain, the individual who wrote this was an employee of mine, she worked with me and my horses for a little over 2 years during that time I did experience some financial hardships and I told her I would not be able to continue paying her so she didnt need to come, her response was simply I have issues at home and wanted to get away therefore she was happy to come and stated she wasnt worried about the money, at that time. 

And Yes my wife and I are christians but we in no way use that to our gain to buy or sell horses we truly love our farm/horses.  Often when potential buyers come to see what we have to offer obviously we have small talk/conversation and yes if it comes up about our children we tell them about or daughters tragedy even today that is still a very emotional subject for us but again we in no way use to our gain.

I have been around/working with horses my entire life at some level it isnt just our lively hood but our love and passion I would in no way abuse or harm these animals, I always had a ferrier who regularly frequented my property and sometimes in the interem if something needed done "she" would often do it they were never neglected! 

When showing or selling a horse I always do my best to pick the right horse to the experience or level of the person buying, I would never intentional sell a horse to someone if I thought they couldnt handle it or there was a chance of them getting hurt in the case of the "Blind green pony" no one ever said the pony bucked anyone off I was told that the owner left the pony out with adult horses they chased her into a vehicle parked in the pasture which did damage to her eye and side of face, he admitted he was told not to turn the pony out with adult horses! According to vet report she had no way of telling if the horse was blind.    

I have no problem with inviting anyone at anytime to visit my farm/horses to see the condition they are in as well as the conditions of the property they are kept.  My horses are in no way mistreated or neglected I can provide all care/health  documents ie. ferrier, worming, vet records for any of my horses.

Thank you for taking the time to read my rebbutal but please feel free to go to my website for contact info.
