I bought a horse advertised under Triple 777 Paint Horses from Patricia Wilson. Money for the horse was wired into her account after we both signed a 30 day trial/purchase agreement. The horse was shipped to me without proper health papers and coggins papers. I am not sure that the horse in my possession is even the horse advertised in the ad.
I had an expert horseman try the horse before I got on him. The horse knew nothing. He appeared not even broke. He was advertised as "safe enough for children", "honest broke kids horse", "family horse", with a "#1 very quiet temperment". The trainer recommended that I not even get on him, as the trainer had to jump off of him in full motion, because the horse would not even stop. It was recommended that I exercise my option to return the horse as stated in the contract as soon as possible.
I have made phone calls and spoken to Patricia Wilson on several different phone numbers. Many are the same numbers that I have seen on ads on AgDirect under different farm names: EtexEquine, Triple 777 Paint Horses, and Cannon Creek. Phone numbers that I have called are: 903-562-1599,903-562-0777,903-263-9009,903-742-9942.
I have not yet been able to return the horse. And, will continue to work on my request for a refund and the return of the horse.
I feel for this horse, even though he is a bully to the other horses. He probably has been shuffled around all of his life and survived by being the aggressor. I paid a premium price for a horse that was supposedly perfectly trained, "push button" and ready to go. I am saddended that a horse could be so badly misrepresented... And I am saddened about the future of this horse.
