Over the next 2 months we let her rest and had our trainer and 2 vets look at her. All 3 told us she had arthritis in both front knees. The vet reports we were given following these checks also state Misha is lame in the left front and has a club foot on the right. That she is asymmetric with a high left hip. We put in ad on Craigslist looking for a forever home for her. High Desert Horses saw the ad and called us. They asked if they could have here back and would keep her as a pet for their daughter.
I did not ask for any compensation for the $3000 I had paid them 3 months earlier. Only that they pay me $100 for bringing her back there and sign a contract that she would not be sold for a minimum of 2 years. Warner signed a contract and gave me the $100. He also said Misha would stay at their house. I called them multiple times last week and left messages that I wanted to confirm Misha was still there. When High Desert Horses finally called me back Warner told me the horse was "dangerous" and almost killed his daughter.
He said he considered what was in the Misha's "best interest" and sent the horse up north for breeding. I know nothing about breeding but common sense tells me adding hundreds of pounds for an arthritic horse to carry around for months does not seem in the horses "best interest". This one experience with them has caused me to have the opinion that High Desert Horses is the worst type of horse trader. Others may have different experiences and different opinions but I have nothing positive to say about them or the methods High Desert Horses use in their business practices
High desert horses sold me a 12 year old mare. the ad posted on craigslist said that misha was sound and safe. that a vet check had beed performed by a local vet.
I purchased her for $3000 without a second vet check as i knew the vet Courtney abd warner said did the vet check. we rode her twice and she seemed to be in pain during and after riding. We had the vet come out that High desert horses said did the original vet check. He said it was not an examination he performed but saw the horse from a distance whilr ther doing a ranch call on another horse of theirs. so that was the first lie i caught them in. The vet examined misha at my ranch and said she has arthritis in both front knees and at best should be only lightly ridden or not at all. A second vet ckeck the next week performed by Sweetwater Veterinary provided us a writtenm report that Misha has arthritis in the kness, lame left foot, club right foot, and asymmetrical high left hip.
We placed an ad on craigslist for a free forever home for Misha and High desert Horses called and said they would love to have her back as a pet for their children. I agreed to not ask for any compensation for the $3000 i paid only a couple monthes earlier. only that they pay me $100 to bring her back and sign a contract that they would not sell her for a minimum of 2 years. I got the $199 and the signed contract and they promised to keep her. 6 months later I called to come see her and it took 10 phine calls before warner called me back and told me they sent the horse up north for breeding because iMisha is "dangerous" and almost killed his child. He never tried once to call me and tell me there was any problem.
When i told him to f*** off and i would take him to small claims court he hung up. he called me back and left a rmbling voicemail that I have saved that contradicts itself throughout. really sounded by a drugged induced crazy man but i can't imagine that being it. I think getting caught in multiple lies, he felt yelling and leaving false accusations on my voice mail was the right thing to do. He also implied that he started breeding Misha up north at the "Rassmussam Ranch" within a week of me giving her to him. Since that time I have put a ad on craigslist and have received multiple em,ails from others who feel lied to and cheated by High desertt Horse in Antelope Vally
