I would like to ask those that are posting here to list their credentials for making these claims against this business as well as to give specifics re: their personal experiences with Tye Dye Equines. I wonder if I should give any creditability to comments here or if this truly is a witch hunt against someone that no one here has actually done business with. Do you believe everything you see on the web unquestioningly (like opinions on this forum)? Have you never publicly made a mistake or a typo? Are you an expert at web site design? Are you rich enough to buy everything you need? Have you been publicly held responsible for someone’s actions that you had no control over? How would you feel if your reputation was being tarnished by a bunch of faceless people who act like they smell fresh blood and go into a feeding frenzy? As the sole proprietor in a service-based industry, my reputation and good name is my only asset. I feel this business’ reputation is getting trashed simply because you all don’t have anything better to do. So unless you stand up and list your expert credentials and/or detail the personal experience of a transaction with this business and can back up your opinion with fact, I think you should stop harassing Tye Dye Equines.[/QUOTE]
Well, my statement was that she had advertised a horse as something when it was not. That simple.
If you sell a peace of glass as a diamond, asking diamond prices then you are misrepresenting your product. That is a fact. And moreover if a person claims to be a reputable diamond seller, then it is their responsibility to know the difference.
Same goes with selling a ineligible horse as a certain breed (and yes in Canada, the Canadian Warmblood is formally recognized as a breed by the Federal government due to a ton of pedigree work by it’s members, the Sport Horse is recognized as an evolving breed). I do not need any personal experience as this was an publicly advertised statement.
As far as many of the other statements, well, they are personal opinions. I do not think, personally, that it is good breeding practices to allow stallions that are not tested, have an inadequate pedigree (draft cross or ottb) to breed mares by accident or otherwise. Then advertise them as Wb’s when they are absolutely not eligible for inspection.
It is pulblic opinion of those who are actually recognized Wb breeders. That is what this forum is…the actual Wb breeders and people in the industry. Of course they would have issue with someone who is misrepresenting their product, a product, that for them, that they work very hard to produce and to produce with a degree of quality.
PS. you should be careful about asking for personal experience…you might get it and from what I have heard, that might not be what you want to have on a public board. It is only libel if it is not true. Official records would protect those and Coth has a way of digging up everything.
