Bought a 7 year old solid black paint. Had him for three weeks, sent him to a trainer and he came up lame. Brought him home to let him rest, got better w/bute but then came up lame both front legs, a week later after he was put out to pasture.
Took him to the Vet he blocked one front leg and then the other, took X-rays of both front feet. He has degenerative Navicular disease in both front feet. The right front foot is so severe the bone is scalloped.
Left several messaages, didn't return my phone calls. Finally talked to him, and he refused to return any of my money, stating that in Montana horses are as-is. He offered to haul him down to Billings so I could sell him and make him somebody else's problem. He doesn't care about the horses, he buys and sells, and they are a commodity.
The damage was so severe in a 7 year old horse, the best thing to do for him, to save him from a lifetime of pain was to put him down.
Don't buy a horse from this man, you will regret it.
