Charlie Porter Bait & Switch Horse Trader King City , Missouri

Charlie Porter uses the bait & switch method of drawing in unsuspecting horse shoppers.

I emailed and called him about a beautiful black QH gelding advertised for sale.  The photograph in the ad showed a man mounted on the horse holding a billowing rodeo flag.  The horse was described as bombproof, extremely well-trained and his personal riding horse.  The gelding was very, very handsome, registered, young, and sound...and way under market value.

Days later he answered my inquiry with the news that the black gelding had been sold.  However, he sent me a link to dozens of other horses he had for sale.

Funny.  A year later, the black gelding's ad was still online.  And guess what?  I was beginning to catch on to some of the trader's tricks by then, so I Googled Charlie Porter's name and found THIS SITE!  Ha ha, I'm a convert now!
