Strain Family Horse Farm
Bill Strain Dishonest, horse criminal! Internet

Wow what an experience! Never never never go to this farm if you want honesty, safety and quality! We went as a family in search for a horse for my daughter. Got there and it began immediately. They started pulling horses out. Some were pretty, some were sound but some stepped out of the stall lame, snotty noses, one even had a lump under his jaw and was oozing!!! We all know what that was. They said he got a scratch and it got infected. Great cover.

Then the riding began. What a scary process and what they thought was ok for my daughter to ride was unacceptable. At the end they changed prices 3 times on us and of course the one we liked was the most expensive. We fell in the trap anyway and bought him. Shame on us. We got him home and within 2 weeks our entire barn of 11 horses were snooty nosed, not eating and high temps. They offered no help. The horse we got from them came to life about 1 week after being there and bucked 3 people off and ran away with big spooks with 2 others. Very very dangerous. We brought him back. Some of the others that were there before were still there. We entertained them and looked again. Can you imagine the prices on the ones we already saw had changed. Nothing was the same. (same gross stalls too. I don't think they clean them more then once a month. GROSS) We did pick another horse.

Had a PPE done before taking him home and he passed. Got him home and the next day he was dead lame! Again shame on us for not doing a drug test. He went back and we picked another. Same vet for PPE. Got horse home and another lame one. Ran blood drug screen and imagine, positive. They denied everything and offered another xchange. So now our original horse costing 6500,3 PPE's later and changing horses with them we now have 14000 into this process. We just wanted out but there is NO way out with them. All they offered was giving us 3500 back and we could leave. We took it as we were too afraid of what was next. Went to another local dealer and had a wonderful experience and on the first trip. I do not and will never recommend this farm to anyone!
