[IceHorses] Seller claims
There used to be a guy near us who seemed to advertise quite a few horses for sale. I was looking for a large pony or small horse, had to be 14.2 or under because we wanted to show in pony hunters. He had a quarter horse mare advertised at 14.1 so I called him. On the phone, he said she was 14.3. I asked him about it because I didn't want to drive 25 miles to look at a too-big horse. His answer: Well, how big did you want her to be? I have always thought that was the classic horse dealer answer. He'd probably have claimed she would carry 300 lbs if I had asked. Nancy

Word gets around as far as who can be trusted to deal with you straight up, as well as the other side of the coin, where trouble and bad deals seem to follow them no matter where they go. Wanda
