The following was sent to “ripoffreport.com” on February 3, 2009:

“I bought a horse sight unseen from Dream Walker Ranch for $5,900.  When the horse arrived it looked like a rescue horse!  It was at least 200 lbs. underweight, hoofs were very neglected (bad case of thrush), teeth were in such need of floating the horse had trouble eating.  He also was very off in the left rear!  Am waiting on x-rays and bloodwork to see if there is anything else to be concerned about.

I was so sorry for this horse I wouldn’t send him back for double my money!  I am going to love him and take care of him like he deserves.  If anyone is considering buying from Dream Walker Ranch, USE CAUTION!  They claim not to be horsetraders but that’s exactly what they are!”

The owner of Dream Walker Ranch has responded and says that it was the fault of Double Bar T Transport Company.  (They always pass the buck.)

Right here in Yorba Linda, CA an acquaintance of mine purchased a four year old Walker from Dream Walker Ranch last month.  She paid $5,000 for it.  This little gelding is for her nine year old daughter.  Why anyone would buy a horse on line, site unseen, with no vet check, is just plain stupid and beyond me.  But a lot of people are ignorant to just how unregulated and dishonest the horse industry is.  The only thing worse is used car salesmen.

Attached are pictures of the horse the day after he arrived in Yorba Linda.  Isn’t it in great shape?  Notice the horrific rope burns around three of it’s legs.  No abuse going on at this place!

We have already contacted the Las Vegas Animal Control and they have promised to keep us informed on their findings at “Dream Walker Ranch”.  Our Vet, Dr. David Tresser, has treated “Timmy’s” wounds and he is doing well.
