Purchased horse on 10/2 for trail riding purposes for beginner family members and friends. This horse was completely misrepresented as a "beginner" level horse as he is not an experienced trail horse and after riding him with experienced riders, he bucked off two riders. The first was bolted off with and then bucked off and the other he just went down to the ground for no reason and got away from rider.
After catching horse and remounting he then launched her off and as she flew back, he kicked her in the chest. This is a seriously dangerous horse for anyone to be on. There is no way this owner did not know about the issues this horse has. He did not just start bucking since he was purchased at the age of eight going on nine years old. The only thing I was told was he did not like the girth tightened up too tight until he walked around before mounting and to just slowly tighten the girth.
That generally is not a prob as a lot of horses can be that way. The problem lies in the fact she did not tell me he might buck which in that case, he definately would not be suitable for inexperienced riders by any means. I would have never purchased this horse. I called the owner and told her of the problem and asked her for help but she choose to ignore me and tried to pull all her ads from Dreamhorse and You Tube so I could not contact her. This only proves to me that she definately knew that the horse had problems she did not disclose.
