Beck And Anne Kozloff, Whistlin Willows Farm Fraud on Horses papers Gorham Maine

comments to the "rip-off" farm report

I have done business with Becky and Anne Kozloff for years now. I've owned horses for 48 years. I've seen first hand in many situations, farms and horse sellers who are cruel to their animals, deceitful to their buyers, only looking for their next dollar and falling short of properly fitting the right horse with the right rider.

Anne and Becky not only offer first quality horses, but excellent customer service in which their family takes great pride in.  In fact they will even continue to follow up on their horses even after they are sold to insure they have good homes and are being well cared for.  They are NOT looking to cheat anyone.  Their main goal is to keep a long time family owned and operated horse farm running to service all us horse lovers out there.

I have purchased many horses from Anne.  All of which have had the correct paperwork to go with them, no lies, no hidden issues on any of the horses.  They are completely fair and upfront about all there is to know about the horse or horses you would want to purchase from them.

Anne has gone as far as even helping me care for my horses when I had two tragedies in my life recently.  One was when we moved here from Connecticut and I broke my leg.  The other was when I was diagnosed with Lymphoma Cancer and was completely unable to be around my horses to care for them, or even to be in the barn with them.  When times were tough for me to care for my horses Anne came and took care of my horses all at her own expense.  This is not the action of a "rip-off" individual that she is being made out to be.  This is the action of a kind, caring, honest horse lover and individual you would want to buy a horse from.

She goes out of her way everyday to insure her horses, her business, and her customers are well cared for and completely satisfied. 

To insinuate that they are "rip-offs" is completely inaccurate.  Seems this person complaining of the "paper error" they had, could have been resolved if they only took the time to instead of trying to turn the fault on the wrong party, shows this person is not telling the whole story or anything far from the truth about Whistlin Willows Farm and their family run business.  The fact is they did receive a darn good horse that they loved.  Take a good look at yourself and horses.  Are you really into them as your pet and friend, or are you just into purchasing horses and trying to ruin a person's life and business all for selfish reasons.   Look for the "good" in others and the good will come back to shine on you.  Whistlin Willows Farm is a wonderful place to do business with.  I should know.  I have been a customer of theirs for quite some time.  Never had a bad horse purchase from this family.

As far as I'm aware falsifying paperwork is illegal and is a very serious matter. If the horse in question was not bred by Anne Kozloff then it is not her error. If it was bred by her then there's a possibility that with so many horses she got confused. She does after all have 3 horses for sale at the moment named Blue, Blue and Blues!!!!!

I have has several dealings with Anne Kozloff and I have been less than impressed everytime, however I understand that the horse dealing industry is extremely hard and she needs to do what she has to inorder to feed her family and horses.

I do think that there's a lot that happens on that farm that people don't know about and I strongly feel that the living conditions of those horses are not acceptible.

The best thing I can suggest to anyone is to thoroughly investigate any farm/person/horse that you intend to buy, including checking papers, seeing the horse's parents if possible, and getting the horse thoroughly vetted as I know many of the horses that I have had from her have rarely been sound.

I personally do not believe that she is a bad person but she is a dealer and does what she has to. If she didn't, she'd have no money to feed her 50 horses.
