Michelle Coursin ***BUYERS BEWARE!***MICHELLE COURSIN***INTERNET HORSE SCAMMER!*** LIAR!!*** COMMON HORSE TRADER!!** HORSES ARE MISREPRESENTED!!** Chesapeake, Virginia

I have found dozens of similar reports on this site which have been authored by Thompson Moore under countless aliases.  There's even one on me.  He also goes onto other similar sites like scaminformer.com and even comments on peoples youtube videos under various aliases.  He is extremely jealous of anyone in the horse industry, even if they don't compete directly with him.  Every word out of his mouth is a lie.  I watched him buy horses at low-end auctions, then turn around and list them on his website a few days later as an "Oldenburg Cross" with all kinds of "Show Points" and pretend he had owned and shown the horse for years.  They were grade "junk horses" who had barely ever been ridden.  His "trademarks" include coflex wrapped tails, and a very specific "pose" of the horse, as well as fabricated claims of being "Oldebergs" or "Holsteiners."  Visit http://www.equestrianlife.com/profile/1000001743000/ and look at the pictures of the horses and you'll know the "pose" which I am referring to. 

I haven't seen Thompson Moore in person in years.  *He was basically "run out of" Orangeburg, SC after countless horse related complaints and issues.  He surfaced briefly in Upstate SC before disappearing.  He used to operate under "Old Orchard Farm" with the website www.oldorchardhorses.com (It no longer exists).  When he moved to the Upstate, he used "Old Orchard Farm" for a while, but later changed to "Mallard Springs Farm" in an attempt to re-brand himself and leave his past indescressions behind.  Dispite his apparent absence from the horse community over the past couple of years, he continues to mount his efforts to smear other horse professionals for his own twisted enjoyment. 
 
When confronted about his lies and insane behaviors, Thompson Moore will threaten you with a lawsuit.  That's his Modus operandi.  Don't worry, he doesn't have an attorney, or the money to get one.  Besides, you are in no danger of loosing a lawsuit when you only tell the truth about him.
 
I have been rather amused by the following "threads" about Thompson Moore over the years.  Read them for yourself and draw your own conclusions:

I especially enjoy the closing comment from the site moderator who states: "UPDATE: Our apologies for not being able to determine earlier, but bellfordfarms does in fact share an IP address with a recently created account "ThomsonMoore" as well as "ilovemyhorses87."  "

By this point in his life, you would have expected that Thompson would have matured beyond the point of lying, smearing, and name calling.... all of which he does under aliases to hide his true identity.  He frequently calls his targets "UGLY," "FAT," "NEEDS PLASTIC SURGERY," ETC... and he loves to make up silly names for them.  He claims that people are obsessed with him, yet he's the one that continues to post on people's youtube accounts or lie about them on ripoffreport.com years after ever being in contact with that person. 
 
I recommend that anyone who has dealt with Thompson Moore and had him smear their name post a reply to this report with a link to the ripoffreport that he has written about you, so that we can doccument what a crazed lunatic he is an an effort to remove the power of anonymity that he tries to operate under. 

I am M. Plumley and want to set the records straight that I am NOT the MPlumley that has posted this report. I believe my first initial and last name have been used to create a misrepresented situation due to dealings with a third party that may wish to cause problems.

 I did buy a mare from Michelle Coursin ( through an agent/friend of hers ) in 2010. I believe that this mare's problems/vices were accurately disclosed to me within their knowledge, such as being a cribber. Upon further vet exams and unfortunate experiences another issue was discovered that affected the mare, but I do not believe this was known by either Michelle or her agent as the cause was nerve damage in the esophogus from a botched surgery. The timeline of Michelle's ownership was not long enough for this type of surgery to be completely healed as it was when I purchased her. I had her scoped and it appeared that the damaged area had been long healed with scar tissue.

So as far as my dealings with Michelle and other parties go, I am confident that this report is less than sincere.
