Long Shadow Farm Sherman Deach, Leigh Methena liers,dishonerable,dangerous to deal with,beware,thieves, Roy, Washington

I found what I thought was described as my dream horse on Dream Horse. The horse was guaranteed sound and gentle with a disposition on a scale of 1 to 10 as a 3. I emailed the seller saying I was a grandmother and could not afford to ever hit the ground and was looking for an extremly gentle horse that I could just go out and ride and enjoy.  Sherman called me the next morning.  I explained that I was 72 years old and although experienced, I was very small and fragile and needed to be certain that the horse that I bought was not going to buck.  I asked several times if the horse was sound.  I was assured over and over that he was sound and gentle for anyone to ride.  Since I was leave in 3 days to be with a family member who was having surgery, I talked with Sherman several times and we agreed to meet so that I could get the horse.  Sherman asked Leigh if she would take my lower offer and she declined but did go down $500.  We drove 5 hours,  When I saw the horse, I said, " he's limping, what is that about".  Sherman brushed it off as the horse having had a little abcess that he had punchered and he would be just fine.  I asked how he got it, and was told on a rock in the pasture.  Given the multitude of guesions I had asked and trusting that I had gotten honest answers, I paid in cash.  When Sherman went to his truck to get my paperwork, he drove off.  When I got home at 11:30  that night, the horse had been taken off Dream Horse.  I called Sherman the next morning and asked for the paperwork.  He said he would send it and got my address.  Never did.  In the meantime that day I took the horse to my Vet.  The vet said he had an old injury high in his leg and was lame and no evidence of an abcess.  He advised I take him to the Equine Hospital in Nampa ID.  I did.  The horse has an old ligiment injury and will always limp.  A $1,200. surgery could help but he would still limp.  So still thinking this horse was gentle for a 72 year old woman and that " anyone can ride this horse" as I was assured, my husband got on and it was a rodeo, resulting in 3 broken ribs, lacerated wrist, and other lacerations and abrasions.  He is 10 years younger than me and stronger.  The horse could have killed me.  He is beautiful.  I do have an attorney.  I don't want this to happen to anyone else.  They can rebut all they want, but I have documentation, and facts.  Sherman refused to take the horse back.  His reply was " you bought him, you sell him to someone else" which will not happen because we are reputable people.  Just beware and run don't walk away from a sale from these people, even if the horse is beautiful and no matter what they swear to.
