Re: [RC] a hard lesson to learn - Joe LongOn Thu, 20 Oct 2005 16:49:05 EDT, DVeritas@xxxxxxx wrote: Dear CB, If this so-called "reputable" horse dealer was listed in the Endurance News magazine, I would be inclined to contact the Endurance News folks and discuss it with them. I know that you should have had the horse vetted, you know that you should have had the horse vetted, but, by the same token, when someone is considered "reputable" and turns out to be exactly the opposite, I strongly believe that someone needs to know that...be it the magazine or the community as a whole. This brings up an important point: I know the buyer was trying to avoid "naming names," but she gave a description of the seller: a well-known horsewoman, breeder and competitor in Colorado. Well, there is more than one person here in Colorado that fits that description, and some people might read that and think they know who she's referring to, and be mistaken, and an innocent person gets hurt. I've done some checking, and I know that this horse was NOT sold by the Rocky Mountain Training Center (owned and operated by Bobbi Richine, an accomplished endurance rider). I'd appreciate it if Cherie would stipulate that, and I'm sure Bobbi would too. In all of the dealings I have had with the RMTC over the years, they have shown nothing but good ethics and professionalism. I've bought two horses there and will not hesitate to buy from them again in the future. -- Joe Long jlong@xxxxxxxx http://www.rnbw.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
