Horses Deserve a Second Chance, Nicole Hilliard, aka Nicole McFarland, formerly G and T stables Dishonest, Steals tax money, Lies about care of horse, Misrepresents. Oxford, PA, Other locations in PA Internet
- I bought an Andalusian mare from horses deserve a second chance a month ago. Adelina is a sweet, sweet horse. There have been several problems though with Nicole Hilliard who's maiden name I have since learn was McFarland.
-
First, I live in NY. Pennsylvania tax code clearly states that sales tax is only to be collected on horses sold withIN the state. I discussed this with Nicole, before I paid Nicole and took delivery of the horse. She seemed confident she needed to collect the tax. So I sent a copy of the tax code, clearly highlighted to show only horses sold within the state need to be taxed when I sent payment in full with the tax. I asked her to look into it and have her attorney or accountant explain it to her as she was collecting a tax illegally, and then refund my money. She promptly responded she had an appt with her accountant within a week. That was a few weeks ago, as I hadn't heard back from her I contacted her a few days ago, Her response was just NASTY.
Issue number 2. Adelina's feet were done on Monday per Nicole, special for the purchase. She was delivered on the Friday of that week to me. Two weeks later the farrier is out at my barn. He doesn't like the looks of Adelina. Her back feet he states have not been done for at least 6 months. He never took so much frog off of a horse. Trapped in all that frog was a stone not far from becoming an abscess. He also states she has a suspensory ligament problem near where it branches which is devastating. Now Nicole said she had her for 3 months. Nicole never had her feet trimmed on that Monday. She never had her feet trimmed in those 3 months, because she never had her for 3 months!!!! She told me several times she had got her feet done and in writing. This makes me think she could care less about the horses.
Issue number 3. Nicole was to deliver the horse for the sale price. Instead, she contracts it out. I live 5 hours away from her. She had someone pick up the horse on Thursday, which Nicole lets slip out. Who knows where this horse spent the night. She was to arrive at 2:30. It was 9 pm before they arrive, with just 3 short texts complaining of breakdowns in a 30 year old truck and trailer. Nicole called them friends but they claim they know nothing of Nicole.
Nicole sells a lot of horses that she says she trains. I find this impossible. I have seen her barn and place, she has just 2 small paddocks and 3 stalls??? She is just spinning them out and will tell you anything.
Stay away!! Find someone more reputable, look her up on ripoff.com under Nicole McFarland her maiden name I have since learned.
