On Jan 28 I replied to an advertisement on equinenow.com for a registered friesian mare. The seller only calling herself "Alex" emailed photos of the horse and after several more emails in which she told me the mare had a coggins test and health certificate necessary to bring her into Canada I decided to buy her.
On Feb 22nd I wired the full asking price of $5500 to her business account - Prestige Distribution, P.O.box 634, Wrightwood CA This went to her bank - Citibank 495E Silverado Ranch Rd Las Vegas.
I then arranged for a professional horse hauler to pick up the mare on Feb 26th for transport to Canada. This did not happen as "Alex" said the coggins test was out of date and that she would take the mare to her vet to get another one done.
I had to find another hauler - he could pick her up as soon as the coggins test was back. It was now March 5th, As suggested by the hauler, I asked "Alex" for a copy of the bill of sale [the original to accompany the horse] She did not reply for four days, claiming that she had not heard from me or the hauler and as I had not picked up the horse would I send her $800 for board !
The haulers and I had emailed her and left several messages until the day they left to head north [March18th]The phone number she gave me - 480 686 3760 turned out to be a pager.She never once called back.
Since the demand for $800 on March 9th all communication from her has ceased.
Browsing ripoffreport I recognized my own situation in report #291178 !

Kenney Friesian horse mare complaint helpful information
AUTHOR: Friesianlover - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, May 31, 2008
This information is for the folks who have been scammed by the Kenneys on the Friesian mare purchases. The below information was valid as of 5/26/08. We were almost ripped off by these people. Same scenario as what is reported on this site, Rip-off, by several different people who were scammed.
We were thrilled to be able to purchase such a quality Friesian mare at an unbelievable price. The mare was to be a dream fulfilled for our 13 year old daughter. Our daughter was beside herself thinking she was to own a Friesian. Aka "Kate" Kenney knew the horse was for a child. She didn't care. She would have been more than willing to take our money and break this little girl's heart. This evil, heartless woman needs to be stopped.
We were very fortunate because before I wired her the deposit, I googled the address she gave me for the horse (to arrange transportation) the address was bogus and her answers about it could not satisfy my questions. My bank person was very suspicious of possible identity fraud and requested a copy of Kenney's license faxed to the bank before the wire was sent; which Kenney wouldn't supply. Still, not sure of what to do and wanting the horse for our daughter, we offered to come and get the horse the next morning and pay cash, but Kenney had to go out of town Kenney kept pressuring us to send the money to hold the horse for us, something we wouldn't do until we could verify that a healthy Friesian mare did exist. Kenney became increasingly abusive. Every step of the way, more and more red flags started popping up.
My family is not in the horse business. We just wanted a quality horse for our little girl as a pet and to ride and show. The Kenney's are taking full advantage of novice, unsuspecting people like us. Anyone who believes they have been scammed or almost scammed by these people needs to file a report with the FBI @ www.ic3.gov.
As of 5/26/08 the information I had on the Kenneys

The horse was advertised in Fayetteville Arkansas, but Kate Kenney told us it was located in Amarillo TX because of a pending divorce. There are listings for a Kxxx Kenney in Amarillo, with additional addresses in CA.
I hope this information might be useful to people trying to get their money back or send this scum to prison.
