Al Zeigler - Zeigler Livestock Transportation
Sold me a pony on Dreamhorse.com and delivered it very sick — almost died. Cost $10,000.00 to save it

Al Zeigler says he sells healthy horses. I purchased a pony from him and he delivered it very sick. SERIOUSLY ill.
Al's transport service kept this pony on a trailer in hot weather for six days! I would never have agreed to that, but Al avoided returning my inquiries as to when the pony was leaving and when it would arrive, until just before the pony was to be delivered. They never would tell me the itinerary.
When the pony finally arrived, the pony had (1) shipping fever, (2) strangles, and (3) Strep. Brucilosis. He also had long-standing strangles chondroids in his right gutteral pouch, which were causing a serious inflamation of the bones in his head. My vets said this pony had been sick for a very long time.
My vet and I spent a month, around the clock, caring for this pony, but he got worse and had to go to the equine hospital where he was given oxygen because his lungs were not functioning. He remained hospitalized for 29 days! I spent over $10,000.00 to save this pony's life.
Al Zeigler also gave me the exact same line: "He was healthy when he left here."
Just because you did not get a pre-purchase vet exam does not let Al off the hook, because of Al's statements that he only sells good healthy horses.
