New horses for sale website- Harnessgait.com

I am the seller 1/2 and we do train at the fairgrounds. We got a message from Harnessgait today saying and I quote...Thank you for taking the high ground" All I ever said was that the buyer never paid...1/2 yes but the other half was on hold...for how long we did not know but he wanted to pick up the horse today and we did not have the full amount. If you want to buy a horse I thought you actually had to have the money. I know he claims the money was going to be released but I much prefer we had full payment, not a promise. Not much else to the story...no ticket, no washer!!

Is it true that you wouldn't give the buyer extra days for the remainder of the $1200 he sent to clear but you were willing to wait those extra days if he would give you $5000 instead of the $1200?

Who buys a horse and doesn’t have $1200?

the $5000 number was a joke since I was pissed the way he handled the purchase. Why would I think he could pay $5000 when he could not even pay $1200. Why would anyone give someone a horse and then wait for the remaining money. Doesn't it ring a bell that someone who wants to buy a horse for a sum of $1200 and only can pay half until whenever sound like a deadbeat. I was concerned that she would even get fed. Anyone who looks at the original sale post will see that we stated we were more interested in finding her a good home. For whatever reason it took him 4 days to pay the first $600 and that was only after he asked for another 4 days and then I had enough and at about 2PM I gave him a deadline of midnight to pay or the sale was off. I had enough promises and delays. After he sent the $600 the fun began and yes he can show you the other $600 but what he fails to mention it was on hold for anywhere from 24 hours to 21 days and we had no control over the balance. He was refunded his money and we have all the screenshots to prove what I am saying. So that is it in a nutshell. Those that want to believe his fairy tale so be it. My trainer and her family have been in the business for over 100 years, yes you read right, 100 years and in that time they have been fined once for being late to the paddock.
I forgot to mention he came to the barn on Saturday, looked at the horse but brought no money with the promise to pay and pickup either Monday or Tuesday, first of his stall tactics

That’s not what happened, PayPal holds money if it’s a double payout, seller doesn’t understand the internet 🤪

Who doesn’t pay $1200 all at once or takes that long to pay?   Sounds like they need to go get a job at chick-fil-a to earn a little cash.  You buy something, you pay for it!  I don’t even think Walmart offers layaway, let alone make installments on a $1200 horse.

Tell me how you know what happened. I personally spoke with Paypal twice and both times they told me the balance was on hold and would be on hold from 24 hours to 21 days. So you think we should have given him the horse and hope we get the balance. What has amazes me thru this ordeal is how many people have chimed in and they have no idea what happened as there were only 4 of us involved...myself, my partner, our trainer and the buyer...no one else.Regardless of who and how many disagree there was NO way we were going to release the horse without payment. Some idiot lady said rather than try to make 2 $600 payments he should have made 1 for $650...waited and then made the other for $550. I replied.."How about a novel idea...send $1200 at one time!!" She never answered. You have to be a total DEADBEAT to try and buy a horse for any amount and not have the money. I questioned if he had enough money feed her. And for those that can read, in our thread we stated that finding her a good home was the most important aspect. In closing one of the deadbeats excuses why he had to delay picking her up was that his truck did not run and had no heat and you think we should have trusted him....Not me, not now, not ever!!!!

[brownmoose13]

try reading my first sentence which starts with I personally and then tell me what you do not understand

[brownmoose13]

I have told/asked nicely by 2 websites to not mention his name since his rant had to be removed from another site and the other has done the same. Maybe thatgirl1778 will tell you since she seems to know everything about this. I sent her a PM yesterday asking who told her we were banned from Harnessgait since it is not true...no reply

More melodrama and BS. Par for the horseplop course. LOL.
