The latest from Ripoff Report;
Anyone who buys from Dances with Horses is doing so at their own
risk. Danna Findlay is well known in the draft and Friesian
communities as an old school horse broker - she buys horses
promising them forever homes to resell within a week, she
travels the auction circuite buying cheap to sell high. The
write ups on her horses are lies - she will say she's had a
horse for years that she bought at auction the week before. Her
cross breeds are guesses - whatever will sell for the most money
is what she states the cross to be. She recently posted a
buckskin for sale as a Friesian x Clydesdale cross and went on
and on about her special Clyde mare and how special this horse
is to her - until she was called out on the fact it is
genectically impossible to have a buckskin from that cross.
The add came down and a couple days later same horse was back up
on her site for sale, only now he's a Friesian x Drum cross.
The registration papers that come with the horse you buy more
than likely do not belong to the horse delivered - she just tags
papers with whatever horse if the buyer demands papers. If she
can get away with not giving you papers she'll take that route
too - gives her a bigger collection to choose from when she is
asked for papers. The Clydesdale registry has caught onto her
in this game and has cancelled papers on a few horses when they
found out she was switching papers.
The Frieisan registry shut her down for selling shipped semen
from a stallion who was deceased, thank goodness for DNA
testing! This woman has cause more injuries to unsuscpecting
buyers than anyone knows - advertising horses as well trained,
child proof, etc does not mean you won't be getting a green
broke, smoking dragon when it's unloaded - after all most of the
horses she sells she has only had in her possesion a month or
less - certainly not hte years she will tell buyers. She buys,
changes the name to include Dances with, does some creative
writing for a sales pitch, makes up a pedigree then sells to
naive buyers who are ripe for her game.
When you contact her about her lies she threatens law suit,
bluffs and beats her chest - it's all show. She has several
law suits pending, teh FBI is watching her for fraud (since she
does primarily internet trading) and most of the breed
organizations know to be very cautious and demand DNA on any
paper work/registrations received with her name on them. If
you are considering buying from this scam artist document
everything, take screen shots of her false write ups, have vet
checks done with flexion and x rays (I didn't even go into all
the lame horses she's sold as sound) and follow through - you
will win the law suit for false representation. It's time this
horse broker was hung out to dry- she is all thats wrong with
the equine world.

"This past November, I bought a horse off of the internet. I
trusted the person selling this horse to be honest with me,
especially as this company claims to sell 99% of their horses
sight unseen and out of state. The following is a basic summary
of my problems with buying this particular horse (Dances With
Rain) from Danna Findlay of Dances With Horses, Inc. , and her
reply."

Another interesting forum thread about a gelding named Allard.
And Thunder, who was lame.
"Basically what happened is she traded a Friesian gelding,
Allard, for a shire named Thunder owned by the Dances With
Horses farm. Thunder ended up having a horrible case of thrush
and I believe he was lame. Dances With Horses never disclosed
that he had thrush or anything even though it was pretty obvious
they knew. The OP I believe tried to trade Thunder back for
Allard, but the Dances With Horses people said that Allard had a
bunch of problems, was sick, and blah blah blah basically lying
through their teeth. So they are still advertising this 'sick
and deathly' horse on their website using false pictures of a
completely different Fresian stallion and by giving a false
description of the real Allard and it now appears that some
unlucky s.ucker has just bought Allard and is going to be pretty
dissappointed when he arrives and is a totally different horse
then the one they advertised on their website. It's a huge and
very confusing mess."
