I inquired about a horse, got a very nice email returned, and since I could not go to the state to see horse, the seller was willing to have horse shipped to me on a trial basis then if I liked him I would pay for him. The explanation being that she and her husband had been in a car accident and were no longer able to ride. That was the explanation as to why he was not so expensive. I had seen other horses comparable so thought it was indeed a good deal.
The first moving company I was not comfortable with so she got another one that required me to Western Union $603 for the horses air flight and hauling to my home. After the confirmation that he had gone through quarantine etc. And was ready to be put on a flight they said "oh by the way he has to be insured, send $1067 and then you will get it all back except $80 at the end of the flight"
I emailed the owner and she said I needed to pay it right away. I told her "no way", she emailed me back and said she would pay $400 if I would pay the rest. Again "no way" from me.
It is my understanding the owner pays for insurance in any case. I have not heard anything more, I asked for the telephone numbe of the flight company and of course don't expect to hear from the seller with that.
