There is a "trainer" as she calls herself located in Temecula named Bree Lombardo. I bought a horse from her that was listed as "sound, and a safe kids horse", turns out the horse was not the age listed, had a hip injury and I was later told by someone who rides in her barn that the horse was constantly lame and had a massive absess about a month before i bought the horse. I contacted her about this and she blew me off multiple times. Im speaking with a lawyer to persue legal action against her for lying on a sales contract.
I spoke to many people about her and she has a horrible reputation. She was supposed to be training a clients horse to sell it and the horse came up lame, so instead of notifying the owner she continued to jump the holy hell out of this horse until he broke down completely. The owner of this horse was absolutley livid!
She allows her beginner lesson students to ride the horses that are in training that only she is supposed to be riding. So she lies to the owners, charges them close to $700 a month for board and training and does not even touch the horse! She is all about money and does not care about anyones safety nor the horses health conditions!
Do not buy horses from her! Had i known she gets these horses from horrible situations, then jumps the hell out of them until they blow out a tendon or break down i would have never even looked at her barn!
All the major show barns in San Diego have warned me about her. Time and time again i hear about her shady buisness practices and the lame horses she pawns off on innocent people for a huge price tag... All smoke and mirrors!
Unfortunatley since she refused to take the horse back and refund my money i had to run the horse through an auction. BEWARE! She picks up broke down hags for free or less than $300 and sells them in 2 months for 15k or more.
