Dan and Mary Ann Beberman sold me an animal that was not what they claimed; and I have good reason to believe it was drugged when I saw it at their farm. As soon as I took it home, within 48 hours I called them to let them know of the problems, and it wasn't going to work out. He was so nervous and upset, he was always 'weaving', and trampled over me, and unmanagable. They point blank REFUSED to deal with me, told me they had already spent the purchase money, and they couldn't help me.
They knew I was looking for a 'husband safe' horse or mule; and sold me a mule that was so dangerous, he drug me 3 times, nearly bucked off my partner, and destroyed a barn stall. He could not be shod except for tying up a front leg, and being tied to a tree. He trampled over me twice knocking me down. I called them repeatedly, asked for help since they claimed to be trainers.
They refused to come to my farm; even though it is literally 15 minutes from their farm. They refused to allow me to take him back to them for additional ground work, and they refused to take him back to sell him on consignment. Eventually, they stopped taking my calls.
I have it on good source that he was drugged; and so when I rode him at their farm he was calm and quiet. I could barely get him to trot. When I took him out after purchase, he was wild, uncontrollable, and constantly trying to bolt.
After exhausting every effort with the Bebermans, I took him to a trader who after a month agreed he was too dangerous of an animal to sell to anyone, and he went to auction. I paid $3500 for him, and he went at auction for $300 and I still owed money to the broker.
This happened two years ago, and I was willing to let it be bygones; until I saw their ad on Dreamhorse, for a horse they are selling, and went to their website. The following is a quote from the web site:
"Wherever you are with your horse - in the show ring, out on the beach, up in the mountains or just hanging out in the barn, you want a safe, willing and respectful companion who enjoys your time together as much as you do! At Lucky Diamond Ranch, our mission has been to create happy, harmonious and long-lived relationships between horses and their riders.
Perhaps we can help you find the horse of your dreams. Or maybe your circumstances make it necessary to find a new home for your equine companion. Give us a call or send us an email - we may be able to help!"
Makes them sound like wonderful, nice people and great trainers willing to help. I saw this, and thought how dare they! It is completely false; because they DO NOT live up to this false advertising in any way AT ALL.in fact, it is completely the opposite. They mislead me, took my money, and left me with an animal so dangerouse I'm lucky I wasn't hurt worse or even killed. He was that bad! So, I have decided to make a post; to warn other people.
Buyers beware! Do not do business with these people; it is all false advertising! Run the other way, and find a reptuable horse trainer or broker.
