Diamond J Equine advertised horses on the internet that were physically in Arkansas but advertised as being in different states and were priced based on
what state they were in.
After I had been conned into purchasing a pony something wasn't right so I had a vet examine her. I found there was a problem with the pony so declined the deal to purchase her. They continued to try to convince me to take her with guarantees for her soundness. I declined continually. After many phone calls for a replacement, which they agree to in their terms, they promised me an appropriate pony which ended up being nothing of what they advertise him to be. Because I had already purchased the first pony, I was forced to receive a replacement pony.
First the pony is not the size they said so they put shoes on him to make him taller. Than they said he was a childrens pony that I could use in my lesson program and teach kids to jump and that is not the pony I received. Actually I believe the woman told me he came off of a ranch in Texas where he had been ridden western and I was looking for an english pony. When I told them he definetely was not safe for beginners they said they would try to resell him and refund my money including shipping charges, which of course was just another con. I have now no money left and no pony to continue my busines with and not a single word from them.
Since I was having so much trouble with them I did some investigating into their background and found that they had both filed for bankruptcy for large sums of money, so at that point I knew I was never going to receive my $5100 or an appropriate replacement.
When the original negotiations were going on they were calling me three times a day and when the first pony was no good they refused to refund my money knowing they did not have an appropriate replacement so I froze their paypal account in a dispute. At that point they agreed to send a replacement and pay for the vet exam on the new pony so again I trusted them because I didn't want to lose $5100. Well that pony didn't work out either and I can't keep shipping ponies from Arkansas at $850 a pop. I should have just kept the paypal account frozen and pursued the dispute and I probably would have had my money refunded by now.
