Lied about the horse’s condition
I'll tell you about my experience, and then you can decide for yourself whether this is a good place to buy a horse. When my horse walked off the trailer, I was mortified.
I couldn't believe what I saw. It was definitely not the same horse that was featured in their advertisement pictures. I thought I had done my due diligence in researching this business, but I was wrong. The power of the delete button exists.
The horse was dehydrated and lacked basic nutrients, so much so that the problem couldn't be blamed on the trailer ride. The horse was several hundred pounds underweight, had a dull coat, runny eyes, and was mentally shut down. The horse lacked so much muscle, that the topline didn't even exist, and the hips were protruding. I have pictures of everything, all time-stamped, from the second that horse arrived at my barn.
I specifically asked about the condition of the teeth and was told they didn't need to be done. Which was true, but truthfully deceitful. In fact, this 14-year-old horse is actually in its mid-20s. This was separately confirmed by both my vet and dentist.
As soon as the horse walked off the trailer, it was obvious there was a problem with the teeth - hay quids, trouble eating grain. The horse is so old that the teeth are worn down, so no - the horse did not need the teeth floated because there is nothing there to float! If they were honest, a real approximation would have been somewhere in the 20s. An approximate age is not 10+ years off.
And shame on their vet for aiding in this. I have spent hundreds of dollars so far trying to get weight on this horse. Not only that, but the horse cannot eat hay. So special chopped hay is needed, in addition to senior grain, beet pulp, a nutrient supplement, and lots of extra fat.
It's going to take months to rehabilitate this poorly conditioned horse. I wouldn't have paid more than a few hundred dollars for this horse in a condition this bad. That is probably what they paid the Amish. Then they turn around and sell this horse for thousands!
You have to ask yourself if the Amish are done using this horse, it's for a good reason. They've sucked all the life out of the horse then traded it in for a newer model. There is no way I'm the first person to have this experience with these people. I didn't contact them about the issue.
What are they going to do? Argue with me? Continue to lie and scam? So no, I saved myself the headache and saved this horse from a prior life of neglect.
I will never do business with these deceitful people nor recommend any of my friends to do so either.
The horse world really isn't that big of a place, and I'll make it my life's mission to show this community the truth behind this operation. How do you sleep at night, Nicole?
User's recommendation: STAY AWAY! There are plenty of other places to buy a horse

Beware of Horses Deserve A Second Chance
The horse I chose looked in good health and just Tad underweight but not bad. I enlarged views of his legs and no sign of swelling or injury.
The add stated passed his vet exam so I bought him. When money was sent and plan in place for shipping she advised me he had developed an abscess in his coronet band. Wasn't happy to hear that after money changed hands but figured I'd just deal with it. When he arrived he was ATT least 800 lbs under weight for a draft horse.
The abscess was so bad when pressure was applied to his cannon bone green puss shot out and his leg was swollen up to his knee and covered in maggots. Now I have to pray my vet and I with the help of my farm owner can help him overcome this infection and get him healthy again my heart was broken pics are add photos and last 3 are him after arriving

BEWARE
Bought a gelding from her that was nothing as described. Was severely under weight, advanced arthritis, horrible teeth, a previously broken and improperly healed hock, horrible for the ferrier, trailer anxious, and green as can be.
He himself is an absolute sweetheart and none of the above listed is of his own fault. When I reported these findings back to her she was immediately defensive and tried to fight with me on it, insinuating I and my vets were lying about his condition. Save yourself the time, money and heartbreak and go somewhere else.
Want to actually rescue a draft? Just go to the auction yourself.
User's recommendation: Do not buy from her. Rescue yourself from an auction instead of paying a deceitful middleman.
I too experienced the same exact response when I confronted her. She is a horrible person and should not even be in business. At least my boy will have a better life now.

Happy with my gelding
Happy with my Belgian I got from horses deserve a second chance. I ended up buying him sight unseen and I couldnt be happier with him.
Nicole is knowledgeable and answered all my questions. She showed me that he had a vet exam done and is up to date on everything. Nicole helped me set up transportation for him and he got delivered exactly as described. My entire family rides him and he is a big gentle giant for sure.
My vet has seen him already and really likes him as well. I highly recommend her if youre looking for a horse

Shady horse trader
My experience was the same as others. Always an excuse to tell me so I couldnt go out to the barn to see the horses.
I tried to get out to her facility for over a month. Always an excuse, no babysitter, going away for the weekend, relatives visiting or was told that a sale on the horse was pending
User's recommendation: Do not buy a horse from this woman
Scammer
I've contacted several time to see horses and she always has an excuse why i can't come see them...more than suspicious... always told me she can't go to barn that day...
cant arrange babysitting...
i asked for a copy sent to me of vet report... didn't have one so evrn though she says they are vet checked can't seem to prove it
- Nice edited videos
- Everything else
Preferred solution: an appointment to see horse... i don't live far away from them
User's recommendation: don't buy
The exact same thing is happening to me! It is beyond maddening as I live 30 minutes away and am ready to buy - she doesn’t seem to want to show the horse before she sells it!

Verified ReviewerTerrible rescue!
My horse came off the truck with strangles, and lame. 5 months later her feet are still in terrible shape but was quoted as having great feet.
She had no current shots or teeth done but some how passed her vet check?!?!
Never do business with this rescue, expensive and times 10 expensive to try to get your horse sound. She may NEVER be able to be ridden.
Preferred solution: Full refund
I have had a similar experience. My horse was older than dirt and I’m surprised that he didn’t die on the trip to our place.
He was supposed to be part Appaloosa, but his markings were white hairs that showed where is harness had left scars. Her vet “checked” him….and deemed him healthy. He had a body score of two.
A very difficult horse that even after 2 years of work, we never got a ride. They are not a rescue, they are a ripoff and turn horses over quickly.
BEWARE!!!!
Bought a horse from nicole that was advertised as beginner safe and it was a dangerous horse for an experienced rider! Will say anything to buyer to make the sale.
Scammer to the hundredth degree. Thousands of people i've talked to had the exact same experience.
Preferred solution: Warn others

BEWARE⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉
VERY DECEIVING ! BUYER BEWARE‼
When trying to purchase a loving companion your heartstrings gs are toyed with and you are put in a spot to make fast decisions without given the opportunity to see the horse in person.
You are pressured by sales tactics that are unethical and shamefully deceitful! You were told there is no time to see the horse other people are in the process of sending money! All of these horses are marketed as godly And “bomb proof” amazing dream horses. When the reality is quite the opposite.
Pics are photoshopped and videos are of horses “under the influence!!” UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF TRANQUELIZERS!!!
Being a horse lover we what to believe this is the one !!! You would never imagine another horse person would be so ruthless!!! Just make sure you think the rose colored glasses off and demand to see and interact with the horse before purchasing. Thank about it one unicorn is hard enough to find , how can she have managed to come across hundreds⁉ Please do your research and see Facebook page Bad horse dealers!
Read all the stories on there ! You will be jolted right back to reality. Thank about it her vet is on the payroll and just as corrupt as she is. Be where of the shady unethical fine print that takes away your freedom of speech By stating that you cannot give any negative feedback about the horse or the sale transaction by stating that you cannot give any negative feedback about the horse or the sale transaction.
REALLY ?
“DEAD GIVE AWAY”
BUYER PLEASE BE WARE. We all have friends or families that can leave good reviews which by the way there are not that many!
Preferred solution: Shut her down forever put in jail

I’ve been watching her horses she’s selling looking for just the right one. Which one did you purchase?
She called him spike. His sale photos and video he looked just a tad under weight.
When he arrived my vet scored him a 2 Severely underweight. Wasn't told about the abscess until I paid for him. She said she was soaking it but when he came green puss was oozing out and there were maggots all over the leg.
Do not trust her. She has an 87% negative reviews.
Thank you for posting. I decided against buying from her.
