This is what happened to me this spring...to me it makes me ANGRY and SAD.
I received an e-mail from a man that offered me FULL PRICE on a bred mare I had listed for sale. In his e-mails he told me what his plans were for this horse and foal...and I DID NOT agree with them.
I explained to him why I did not agree with this type of training. Well, he got angry at first..and then we started talking ...we e-mailed each other for about 2 to 3 weeks....( I will try to make a long story and many e-mails short).
He still wanted this bred mare at full price....I tried to talk him into a gelding for a companion...that that is what I felt like he needed more....I was trying not to hurt his feelings and I was not going to sell a mini to him for the reasons he wanted. ( I had told my husband if he bought we had to deliver because I had to see what type of home this gelding would go to...he only lived about 3 hours from our home).
Well...over the course of about 3 weeks of e-mailing each other...I knew somehow I could not even sell a gelding...( even though he did not want my gelding..he wanted my bred mare).......here is why.......
He asked me if he could put a deposit down with his disability check from the first of the month......and pay the balance when his house was finished being refianced....because they had refinianced their home.....because he was going to buy miniature horses to start training......for something I don't beleive in.
I politely told him...I was sorry...I could not sell to him...because I did not think this type of training was going to make him rich...( which is what he thought...he wanted to make sure his family was taken care of because of his disablity...( I Never asked him what his disablity was).
I just told him...I could not be a part of that...that I just couldn't do it.
He was not happy with me again....I would have probably gave him a gelding for a companion...if I delivered and seen the horse would be taken care of.
Anyway....after the angry e-mail...about a week later...his wife e-mailed me....( I guess she started reading his e-mails)....all she said was that she was sorry for her husbands e-mails to me...and that he had been hospitilized and would not be buying any horses.
Sorry, it is hard for me to make something short...for something that happened over several weeks.
It breaks my heart and makes me angry....that a certain organization can get to some people so much....that they are willing to use a disablity check and try to refiniance their home...because they want to make enough money to get rich for their family.
I am not good at writing...but, this is SO SAD to me.
