makes me wonder
After talking with my neighbor who is a law student, and a former law professor. I really wonder how much of VSH’s contracts could be held up in court. Based on the fact that they are overbroad and they contridict current laws. So even if one were to sign a document i doubt a court would side with vsh and thats not even considered the fact that vsh is subject to merchant law…anyway im not a lawyer…and i havent delt with this business…just making an observation…
Dawg, you gotta look at the site. It truly buggers belief.
Some of the horses are sold as dead broke, others barely handled. The charges are the same regardless. It just makes it sound like they don’t care for their stock at all and consider routine horsekeeping practices extra extravagances.
I agree that vets can be overly cautious in PPEs, but the tone of the policy about vettings is over-the-top insulting to buyers and vets. I just don’t get why anyone would want to buy from somebody so antagonistic to their interests.
HAHAHAHAHA - that’s a good one!
They say they are in Virginia, well I would guess with the name of Virginia Sport Horses. I’m in VA but have never heard of them, and they don’t have their location on their website which I find very very strange.:eek: Did someone else find the location???
he he he OUCH he he he
I’ve laughed so much at this thread that one of my incisions is starting to ooze a bit (sorry for the O-ver share if it grossed ya out)
And I’m only on page three of like forty!
I clicked on this thread cause I thought 40 pages of catch up might actually use up some of my loooong no-driving, no-horse, no-fun cooped up at home by myself time (until my SIL comes to bail me out of prision later on today) but now I"m gonna have to stop reading or I’ll end up back in the hospital.
I think this part is actually illegal: [B]
We will block the shipment of your horse and you will be placed on a list of individuals that we ask our good suppliers not to do business with…we will also provide your name to our customers as a person of questionable integrity so as to assist them in avoiding being cheated on the purchase of a horse.

And someone please enlighten me on this ‘removal of ranch name from Coggins cert’ thing. My veterinary self says that invalidates the Coggins certificate. That is why there are three blocks on the cert-one for owner, one for destination and one for ORIGIN. It’s all about helping to track/control the EIA outbreaks.
But I could be smoking crack here. (actually I’m on Perocet so I’ve laid the crack pipe down today)
Talloaks, I think they’re outside of Bumpass.
Several other posters have actually been there, and I believe it’s in Louisa County.

I dunno Erin, but if I were a betting person, I’d bet Dagan said you are fat, ugly and I suppose we could infer that you can’t ride… 
Now back to those soap operas. We need you to live up to the stereotype! 
Still have not been to the site - I am on dial-up and a VERY slow computer. I really can’t wander around much.
Just because some horses are broke, and some not handled, it still requires time to show them. Re-loading fee: maybe they would rather people pay for a vet to come than spend hours of their time and risk being responsible for injuring someone’s horse. Sounds like they treat them like livestock. Sporthorse breeders are constantly being told that we should be more like Europe and treat ours like livestock - eating our mistakes too. I personally have to treat them like pets, or I would rather not have them.
As for the stating what they think - vetting policy, with no tact, hmmm…that sounds like a German statement to me :winkgrin: I am always teasing my German friends for sounding antagonistic.
Quote: I totally believe in helmets, but when was the last time you saw a western rider in one
I’m a Western rider and I wear my Troxel faithfully :yes:
Well, good girl! :yes: But I do rather think you are in the minority across this country. Heck, we can’t even get the Dressage riders to wear one, even on a show grounds We recently had a huge thread on a forum about if you saw a stallion ridden with the rider wearing a helmet, if you would think he was difficult or dangerous, and many people said yes 
:no:
Edit
Why yes, I believe you’re right, but like most people I pretty much skipped over and forgot the entirety of Dagan’s post after the first f-word. (Which was, if I recall, the third or fourth word in the entire post.)
Although one would think someone would at least take the 3 seconds to click on a person’s profile to see if they were at least in the BALLPARK before going out on a limb like that and risking looking like a complete idiot.
Since ya missed it before, D, this would be the picture in my profile. :D(Because I’ll take advantage of any excuse to trot out my favorite picture of the Rockstar. Who was an unregistered crossbred, btw.)
Ohh Geez guys…your all distracting me at work by posting so much. I just have to keep checking!
I won’t put my 2 cents in since it’s the same as everyone else’s…disgust!
Edited to add: I work at a Large Equine Hospital here in lexington, I should ask one of the vets the coggins question we all have. I’m scared though that they might think I would be deleting things off coggins!
:eek: Where I am, you can’t ride on the show grounds w/o an approved helmet on, including dressage shows. I don’t understand the inference that a horse would be considered “dangerous” if you wore a helmet. Crap happens; a concussion at best and death at worst is of much more consequence to me than if someone thinks I’m a weenie and/or my stallion is “dangerous”. (He’s actually a far easier ride than one of my geldings.)
Back on topic…I’m still wondering where the rider is regarding the horse along the top of the home page galloping off in full tack. A nice-looking horse with some good movement, but I don’t think I’d want to advertise the fact that rider got left somewhere in the dirt. :winkgrin:
Right, but is she non-comedogenic? I don’t want a horse that clogs my pores!
It’s this phrase in Dagan’s original post that strongly suggests (to me, at least) that s/he is neither a disinterested bystander nor a loyal client but rather the proprietress of VSH herself. The tone and specificity of the invective can’t help but call to mind the now-infamous company policy that begins with
“if you are a 40 year old woman returning to riding after having had children, now pushing 300lbs”
I wrote them
I wrote the lady at vsh and asked if they have any horses that are definate grand prix dressage AND show jumpers(just for laughs obviously). She wrote back and said yes and to call her. GOOD GOD this woman is insane.
kyla
I dunno Erin, now I for sure no you are an overweight house frau that can not ride.:winkgrin:

I’m not one to board a train after it’s wrecked, but I just had to respond to your photo, Erin, and say …Holy Guacamole! Great jump and great shot!
I am perplexed. Really. This isn’t a train wreck - it’s a motocross rally and everyone’s slamming into each other and the spectators and I’m tuning in with 5 minutes left of the program.
how can I ENJOY the train wreck and GLEEFULLY join in when I have to actually focus on what’s going on at work?
This is so unfair.
