Mallard Springs Farm- SC .. any experience?

I hope you don’t think I was calling you a quack! I actually dealt with you (I believe) with a horse you had named Ollie. :slight_smile: Nothing but good dealings with you and/or your group. Just a shame some people have to be such idiots at times. Sigh.

Ollie was such a cutie! As for this “RED ALERT” message degrading our business, I think anyone who reads it with its OVERUSE of !!!s and the immature language just might smell a skink. :winkgrin:

I absolutely find this thread HILARIOUS!

Prior to purchasing my current horse, I had been sent an ad from www.equine.com in regards to a horse by the name Cavallo. A big 17.2 warmblood that wasn’t started under-saddle as a 5/6 year old. “Robert Fortenberry” was desperate to sell this horse as he was willed Cavallo from his grandmother who recently passed away. She bred him, but became to frail to train him. It was a GREAT sob story including him trying to be a nurse and couldn’t afford him or to have him sheltered.

I continued to show interest in this horse, and things got a little weird. He sent contracts and had me to talk to Thomson, his trainer. Once I spoke to him, it became clear he had not a single, flippin’ clue what he was doing. Oh, and all of the sudden Cavallo had a major suspensory pull from running in the mud and that he was rushed to the vet and would no longer be rideable.

I called the local vets and said I would like to pay for ultra-sounds and whatnot to see the extent of the damage at which point all communications ceased with Thomson Moore and Robert Fortenberry- and luckily I wasn’t as naive as other have been and they never received a dime.

I really don’t understand how people like this can sleep at night- and all the while horses are suffering in their care. And watching the videos was enough to give me nightmares, but I just had to tempt fate and see if this horse was going to work out. Thankfully, my trainer had a horse she was breaking that was and is my perfect match :slight_smile:

Wellllll…he apparently did not like my request for information, and has added me to his “fecal roster” on Ripoff Report. It’s sick and funny at the same time.

Well at least you’re in good company - I think you are the 5th or 6th? member on this thread to be reported. At least he’s consistent with his MO. Maybe you can all get together and a start a “ripoffreport” support group.:winkgrin:

BTW way is your website current? Because all the “old” ladies I saw on there looked pretty darn good (along with the horses)!:yes:

Im not 100% sure but I’m thinking this is an ad he posted. He always has similar descriptions. Apparently now he rescues horses:rolleyes:

It’s more like some of the buyers of his horses rescued the horses from him from what I’ve read on this thread and elsewhere.

Moonriver, you are not alone. He trashed another cother on the ripoff report. She sent a copy of it to me. You know that libel laws apply? Despite what some cothers say, people do often sue for libel. For example, the Savannah College of Art and Design sued the School of Visual Arts down here. Plus a barn owner sued another cother right over the bridge in SC. Lots of libel and slander cases are filed. Most are settled as once one posts or says something false and it can be documented, there’s not much of a defense that the defendant can mount

All of you who bought horses that were misrepresented to you should have class action standing if you have the original pictures and descriptions of your horses.

Well the other night WTM reared his ugly head yet again by posting some UNBELIEVABLY nasty and down right vulgur comments on many of my youtube videos!!! This is what he had to say:

Comments on the videos of my app sporthorse stallion, who, incidentally, has been scoring high 60’s percentages in first level and gets 8’s on his gaits:

[I]"Where’s SUMO Carrie in this video?. I guess she smartened up. WHo wants to breed to a small, short-strided appaloosa with pig eyes? Not anyone I know of… "

"Lets put our heels down Carrie. Someone needs some beginner lessons! hahaa "

"I think the horse should be riding Carrie! HAHAHAHA "

"WOW! Those are some HUGE legs. Good thing Shawnee men like thick burgers. "[/I]

Comments on a LOVELY horse we just sold for a client, the new buyer loves him as he is always happy to do his work and trys SO hard, he also scores in high 60’s and 70’s in first level dressage, and schools lovely shoulder ins, half passes etc:

[I]"IM REPORTING THIS AD FOR ANIMAL ABUSE! "

"Wow! This horse is a piece of crap. Can the tail get any higher? TOO MUCH ARAB! VERY FUSSY WITH HIS HEAD. Crammed into the bridle. VERY UNHAPPY. That’s a Shawnee horse for you. Unhappy and grumpy. "[/I]

On another nice young horse that we started under saddle for the owner, this horse is TOTALLY sound AND barefoot with fabulous feet, oh and I weigh 170, no am NOT a small person, however the person in the video is my assistant who is SUPER thin!:

"Wow, this one is lame too! Carrie really needs to stop riding these poor horses. She’s breaking them down. Please, 300LB and less riders only. "

ANother 4 yr old that we sold onto a new home and she was and is totally sound and new owners love her:

[I]"WOW! LAME, AND A HORRIBLE RIDER! "

"Ouch! ANOTHER LAME HORSE FROM SHAWNEE ACRES!! WHAT ARE THEY DOING WITH THEM? BUFFALO HUNTING? CAN BE SAY BAD HOCKS??? "

"BUYERS BEWARE!!! HORSES MISREPRESENTED! "[/I]

And on horse that we took from unbroke to winning dressage suitability classes and jumping 2’ courses in 6 months (that has since been sold by the owners):

"BUYERS BEWARE OF CARRIE EVERHART! SHE’S A FAT AND UGLY LIAR "

And then the one that takes the cake (All of the quotes are exactly how he wrote them except I “bleeped” this one):

"CARRIE S*CKS INDIAN D**K! HAHAHAHAHA "

I honestly cannot BELIEVE this! In a span of about thirty minutes he posted 14 comments on different youtune videos of mine, before I could 1) ban him (however he just had created the user name that day, so could do it again) and 2) prevented comments from being posted on videos. The guy needs some SERIOUS psychiatric care! This is “cyber bullying” and slander, but I cannot even find out an address that this guy is currently at, in order for my lawyer to send him a letter!

Could you report it to Youtube at the least? Or does he hide his screen name? That’s horrible…I can’t believe he is harassing you that bad!

That would be awesome but it seems this dude can’t be found anywhere…it totally stinks.

Wow…Carrie…and I am the Cother that got sued…FOR NO GOOD REASON!

He attacked me not only on here, starting a thread about me which the mods quickly removed (thank you mods! anyone see is it?), but also ripoffreport and yet another website. Apparently I have three or four fake Facebook accounts to stalk one of his friend’s boyfriends. He posed as another girl with a separate username to comment on his other posts.

And he trashed my YouTube too with two separate accounts. Just videos of me lessoning, nothing special but I am a horrible rider, need serious help, then of course he attacked Ms. Luna.:rolleyes:

I don’t understand the part where nobody can find him.

Doesn’t he have horses advertised for sale? Can’t you act interested in a horse and ask where to send the check?

Yep, website is current. Real pics of us hags are all on there :winkgrin:
I think this guy is a pervert and maybe more. He gets some kind of sick thrill out of advertising horses that probably don’t exist. I can only imagine what he does as he sits at the computer…:barficon:

Ya know I kind of feel bad for everyone getting attacked on here. I started this thread, and really truly while I had suspicion that it was him, I really had never heard of MSF before someone in Louisiana sent me a PM asking if I could do some sight checking as they were looking at one of his horses. I still have those correspondance to prove it! I am not fishing for dirt LOL

And while TM has gone after me before this for warning people about the quality of his horses he has never taken it this far, nor attacked so many people at once. I have actually reached out to him and tried to speak rationally that he had tarnished his name, not me, I had more than an earful when I moved into this town before I even started a business here. He burned his own bridges before I was in the state! I tried a calm logical approach ( I have experience with mentally unstable and delusional people) but to no avail.

Its a shame bc from the people I talk to he has a special way with horses but its wasted on a irrationality [edit]. Anyway… I feel awful that everyone here has to endure these stupid acts bc of my trainwreck of a thread. I know many people have court papers in limbo because no one can find him and I surely hope you all get some retribution and closure. I have my own police reports on him but they haven’t been able to find him in years.

Apparently he is extremely good at what he does…[edit] I just like to think that even though no one can find him, that karma will catch up to him eventually. He can’t run and hide forever.

if he is in SC, he can be found.

Just wish he were closer to the coast. You guys do know that you can get service by publication if the sheriff cannot find someone when you sue a person civilly? Then to get a default judgment. Of course to collect on it, you do have to find his assets, not his ass:lol:, so you find where he owns property, or registers his truck, trailer, etc. A good civil lawyer who has the money to finance a class action suit could do all the work for you. And you all divide the costs, which you get back in a civil judgment. Of course you all might end up owning all those horses he is trying to sell.

This is my thinking as well. You can’t run and hide forever. Sooner or later it’ll all catch up to him. And really if you think about it, this thread certainly has had some damage to his “reputation”…as deserved.

So he could have an “accidental drowning”? :lol:

I have valid proof that Thomson Moore ( and so called Robert Lenard) completely misrepresented the horse he sold me. I have the equine.com add he posted, all email communications, records of phone conversations, several trainers and vets that I have worked with regarding this horse. I also have copies of many of the other adds he posted with other conflicting stories. I can match his email and phone number to these stories. I also have copies of his Old Orchard Farm website. The best defense against this guy is the truth. Anyone looking for a particular copy of an add let me know I probably have it. He was very crafty to remove the adds after the horses where sold. Thomson Moore sold me a gross misrepresented and dangerous horse. He has no regard for the horse or for me or my daughter. I have been physically as well as financially injured and I intend to continue with litigation.
