“Leases availabe at my barn in *********. I have a arab/ quarter x gelding who is a wonderful 14H guy…western or english. A TB mare who needs love and attention, and a couple of TB geldings who are wonderful. Leases are offered at 75.00 a month plus half of the horses shoes or trims and their worming or vaccinations, 7 days a week at your leisure and convenience. Tack is available. Our facilities are as nice as the horses. I know it sounds to good to be true, but it’s not. thank you.”
Does it sound too good to be true??? Well, IT IS!!! The last statement of the horses are as nice as the facilities cracks me up! The pasture fences are falling down, the horses don’t have ANY shelter, the ground is REALLY hard and they have major water problems, as in, sometimes there isn’t enough to water the horses AND take a shower, so, shower it is!!!
yes, they have a covered arena but it is a regulation dressage sized arena that has 12+ jumps in it that are moved every 6 months and the arena is never dragged! As for the horses… They are rescues that 99% of the time have not had time to mentally recover from their former situations. They are immediatly put into a lesson program, and jumped! No matter if they are wild and crazy (she sells those as nice horses that have been used in lesson programs and whom have shown succesfully) or if they are too old to move.
Many of you who have been around on this BB for awhile know of the barn I have talked about where all those horrible things happened that made me not like H/J’s for awhile, well, this is their most recent advertisement! And the sad thing is, beginner riders go their constantly because she is so sweet and nice at first and really sounds like she knows what she is talking about, and a lot of people are taken in by their good “we rescue these poor horses” demeanor. However, to the “in the know” people in this area, they are the laughing stock and everyone knows that she is all talk and that they don’t properly manage their horses. They feed small flakes of poor quality hay to 17+hh TB’s and then wonder why they are all so thin. Oh yes, and have I ever mentioned that she is more likley to rescue a Chestnut than any other color as she doesn’t LIKE other colors? So if it came down to two horses in a horrible situation, and the bay was in worse condition, she would choose the chestnut because of the color.
Sorry to vent, but I just don’t know how people like this can still be around in this business. I mean, why haven’t they gone under yet? Only about 4 people go there a week, the place is desolate and they have maybe one or two boarders. The other 35+ horses and ponies are her own. It just makes me MAD!!!
