He is as bad as they come, I explained, i was 52 and had not ridden in 12 years and had bad experience's lookin for a horse . He assured me he would not stay in busniess if he did not sell dead broke ,Child safe horses. HA! I paid a 2,500. for Apha Buck skin mare 3years old in his ad Anyone Can Ride Her!! Beginner Safe!! Safe & sound!! these are his word's. She has bucked ,when we tried to give her a shot because she was sick she went crazy, some kid safe horse, we had to goto pills. He said she had a few bite marks! Ha! I stopped counting after 32 bite marks and i have the pic's to prove it! When she came off the truck ,I was in shock, I got him on the phone and wanted to return her, he said he did not have room to take her back on the trailer, give him a week. I have tried to e-mail him he will not respond, And won't answer the phone. She was abag of bones he told me she was Hog Fat, i liked to see what he calls a bag of bones!, Then we have a APHA Gelding 7 years old.Paid 2000.00.

I don't believe a word out of Al's mouth

AUTHOR: Amy - (United States of America)

POSTED: Friday, March 30, 2012

I have never bought a horse from Al, I heard of him through a friend that used him for hauling. I had given his name to another friend that needed a horse hauled(this has been several years ago). After she spoke with him on the phone to arrange transportation she called me in shock on how horrible he talked to her on the phone. He chewed her out for something, not quite remember what but it was completely uncalled for, needless to say I found a different hauler that was excellent and was very pleased with. After that incident, I don't have to meet Al to realize what a jerk he is, and it doesn't surprise me in the least the things that people have stated about the horse they bought from him. 

 I have been lied to when buying a horse site unseen. And as for why the lady took the horse if she wasn't happy with her condition. I can tell you, I would of kept the horse to save it from horse traders like YOU AL!! Not the horses fault it ended up in your hands and all your out for is a buck and could care less the danger you put people in by stating a horse is kid broke when you know darn well they are not. People like you are what gives horse people a bad name and ruin it for a lot of people. I would never sell a horse without disclosing any health or behavorial issues. But then again I'm not a horse trader and my horses are loved and I would want the best match so that I knew my horse would get the perfect home. What goes around, comes around and someday you'll get yours Al. Maybe not here on earth, but you'll pay for things you've done while here!

Al Zeigler = Horse Trader

AUTHOR: Diana - (United States of America)

POSTED: Sunday, February 19, 2012

Al Zeigler sold us a lame mare so I made a phone call to animal control in Britt, IA.  GUESS WHAT?  They KNOW he is a horse trader and used that term.  They also said they had many complaints about him but their hands were tied.  Call them and see what they have to say before you buy from him.

Same response from Al different Buyer

AUTHOR: Diana - (United States of America)

POSTED: Wednesday, September 28, 2011

If anyone would like a reference from me, I would be glad to tell  you how Al sold me a Lame Mare, please feel free to contact me via email dianahale@kanokla.net   Al told us she was stone bruised when we called him within 2 days.  2 different vets said she is lame and has been for some time.  We have the x-rays to prove it.  Our vet even went so far as to send them to the radiologist at OSU who confirmed the findings.  Al screamed at us AND at our vet.  I called Animal Control in his area, I didnt give a name but told them what had happened, their response....  "Was this Al Ziegler?"  They know him VERY well.  My suggestion would be to call Animal Control near Britt, IA and ask THEM for a reference NOT the ones that Al provides.

This is not true

AUTHOR: Al - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, January 09, 2009

The Paint gelding & the Buckskin horse were both rode all summer by kids from 10 to 16 years old. My nephew & my daughter & Rebecca boy all have rode these 2 horses. all over the farm & on trail rides They NEVER bucked ran away or anything to the sort. We do not have a indoor arena so these horse have not been rode since Oct of 2008 as explained on the phone they have just been running out in the pasture since Oct. Now for the Black & white paint mare She was started this summer by my nephew and was sold as GREEN BROKE. Now if you want to put your Grand kid on a green horse then you are not very smart person are you & do not care about them much ..

Now as far as the horse being sick after over 2 weeks of being at her place ?? All these horses were in good health and had a clean bill of health when they left Iowa . Now the mare that had the bit marks on her this mare was sold this with the bite marks on her . The farm hand turned a stud that we just cut out in the wrong pasture. As for the weigh of this mare she weighed 1050 # when she left here we weighted her to worm her. Also the paint weight 1100 & the other paint weighted 1000 so I do not see how they can be a bag of bones ??

Also Bev signed a release that CLEARLY STATES THE HORSES HAVE BEEN DELIVERED SAFELY & ARE IN GOOD CONDITION she also paid the driver the other 1/2 of the money she owed . Now it is all common sense that if the horses were in poor shape ( they were not ) why pay the rest of the money owed & why sign the paper that states that they were in good condition if they were not ?? That don't make any sense to me.

Now I do have a signed contract that Bev signed that clearly states that

Seller makes no additional express or implicit representations as to the soundness, health, conformation or fitness for particular purpose of the horse and Buyer accepts the horse as is. Buyer has had the opportunity to have a pre-purchase exam performed by a veterinarian at Buyer's option and expense

This Bill of Sale represents the entire agreement between the parties. No other agreements or promises, verbal or implied, are made or included unless specifically stated in writing and signed by both parties.Price of horse listed above includes coggins test, health papers, halter, lead and transportation to address listed below.

Also you have had these horse for over 3 weeks you know people can really mess a good horse up in the time period. I do not believe that these horses acted the way that this lady is saying they did . What did she do to them to make them buck or run a way ??

Each to their own but we have sold allot of horses over the years and never had any trouble with our horses.

If anyone would like references on our business please let us know we have TONS of them and we will be glad to share them .

Thanks

Al Zeigler
