We have been ripped off by a smooth con-artist... Hilaire Williams. I inquired about a horse they had on their web site. That was "bombproof begainner safe". I was assured that there was no need to drive all the way to Ramona to ride, that this mare was everything I could ever want in a safe, family horse. I bit the BS and bought the horse. After the horse arrived by shipper, I was told that the horse had to be drugged to load.
We figured we could work on that. We let the mare settle in for the night. The next day, just to get the saddle on took 45 min. Not a good sign. Finally, getting on, I RODE about out of site of the barn and our other horse... This mare came unglued. Talk about barn / buddy sour... I don't know how good of a trail she is because we can't get to the woods. All Hilaire would say is "she didn't do that here" and wouldn't even talk about trading back or a refund. Now we are finding out that she buys her horses at sale for a few hundred and tries to make a few thousand. Other people have been scamed by her and comming foward. She needs to be put out of bussiness before someone gets really hurt or killed on her drugged horses. I guess we'll have to take this crazy mare to the sale and cut our losses. Maybe Hilaire will buy it again there and re-sale... Beware... This snake will tell you anything!!!
