Location: The best kept secret in TX | Been seeing this entire situation build for years... Sad situation all the way around but I'll say this: Dn't cover it up, sweep it under the rug, and turn a blind eye....
Closed minded people will never learn a thing. Humble, honest people who can admit a mistake, and learn from the consequences of their bad behavior will not only have my respect, but maybe, just maybe my dollar as well. |

JLazyT_perf_horses - 2018-07-26 10:17 AM From what I've been told the mother is the same way, so she's not going to get guidance from the parents. I'm assuming her step dad is the one who most likely suggested the deactivation because it was hurting his saddle business. I know 3 people who cancelled orders for C3's yesterday just because of it, I'm sure others did as well & sales will continue to decline. He is her biological father, the parents have never been married.
Who is her biological father? |

The maker of the saddles. They do not share the same last name. Same for the younger sibling. |

I agree, they just posted them for sale and said they're "selling out of horses". I guess I don't see WHY they have to sell out. Wouldn't this publicity make it even harder to sell them right now?? At least wait a while so everyone can forget  |

| Maybe they’re thinking smart - they don’t deserve to own animals if this is how they treat them. Maybe there’s one smart family member....so selling them to live better lives. |

I will be surprised too. I own a colt that is from a stud they own, they bought the stud after I already owned the colt. My horse was never for sale but the mom would message me every few months asking me to sell. No way in hell I would put a horse in their hands. If the parents wanted to stop her behavior they would have done it years ago. Chali posted a couple of years ago that she could make a barrel horse in a couple of months and did not know why trainers took so long to make one, she was marketing herself as a trainer, lol. |

Location: Pacific Northwest | I think one of the things that irks me the most is people saying “they’ve seen worse”. That doesn’t make dragging a baby horse by its neck okay...if I witnessed someone be shot and then later walked by someone getting punched in the face I’m not going to say “oh well I’ve seen worse.” I would still call the cops regardless.
I just don’t understand that mentality.

I just saw that post as well. Word of mouth can ruin your business just like that!! I am sure he is hoping this blows over....I bought a C3, a month ago(used) and had to turn around and sell it because his "wide" fit wasn't wide enough for my mare, even though he kept telling me that it looks like it fits her...ha! |

Honestly when I saw the moms post my first thought was “oh that’s where she gets it from”  |

Location: Smack Dab in the Middle | I formed a less than favorable opinion of that particular family (Dad the saddlemaker) 10 years ago after we ordered a custom saddle from him at the NFR--as in stood and talked to him, he made the ticket out with us standing there and reviewing it.
Saddle didn't show up when promised, I started calling and got tons of excuses til I finally had to threaten. Then we were sent the wrong saddle and he told me that's what we ordered. I had to threaten again several times and we finally got the saddle. BUT, while I was on the phone WITH HIM, not an employee, he let it slip that Teskeys made our saddle (I think he did some of the custom details). So I paid $2500 for a rope saddle with his stamp on it that he didn't make. And it took 3 times as long as was supposed to and several threats to get it! Never again. |
