As most of you know, I recently sold Starla to a woman. In a nutshell, things went terribly wrong and I now have a feeling that Starla will be back up on the market shortly. Can you guys please do me a favor, if you see her advertised somewhere can you tell me? Here's her stats...

Name: Starla (could easily be changed by now)
Breed: Grade (mostly QH)
Height: 14HH
Colour: Solid palomino with a star on her forehead
Other: She'll probably be sold in foal to a black and white, 15.2HH, paint overo stallion named Quite a Shiner (she *could* be due March 2009...). She *should* be listed as broodmare only as she's not 100% sound. Another thing that makes her stand out is her mane and tail. Both are thick as can be -there's not a curl in sight. Her mane mostly rests on the left side, but half way down it flips over to the other side (refer to pics).
Price: She'll probably be asking anywhere from $300-$500 for her.
Location: Princeton, Ontario (in Oxford county)

Here's some pictures of her in the summer:

Having you guys help me look would be greatly appreciated. I really don't want Starla to end up in a bad place and let's face it, anything can happen with the way horse prices are right now. I'm so bummed out, I thought this woman seemed so nice, and it turns out she's a scammer.

I sold her so I would have more time for Whisper's foal, but I'd buy her back in a heart beat if she's advertised somewhere. I know it's a long shot, but stranger things have happened...

Will keep an eye out. What area do you figure she would be for sale?

I'm just curious why you feel she is a scammer. Did they claim that theirs would be a forever home? Could you contact the owner and express an interest in helping her find the right home for this horse? I'll keep an eye out in any advertisements.

Will keep my eyes open for any ads listed for her, l just bought a palo but its not her.

Can you contact the lady who bought her from you and offer to buy her back ?

Good luck, l hope you can find her !

Here's what happened...

First off the woman made arrangements to come and see her several times before she actually got there. I thought okay, while poo happens right?

She finally got to my place she liked her, she made arrangements to pick her up a few days later.

The showed up, paid me the $300 for her in cash (so I'm not out anything) and they went on their merry way.

Three or 4 weeks past and I get an e-mail out of the blue saying that she really liked Starla and Starla's so nice BUT her alpha mare gets Starla right up against the barn and just kicks her and kicks her, so Starla was going to stay in the barn until she could work something out. I told her to fence off a few acres of her 23 acre field and throw Starla in there with a buddy but she refused.

So a day or two later I got a phone call from the crazy lady, she let Starla back out into the pasture and her alpha mare went right back to picking on her (I would throw that alaphs in teh barn if I was her, but whatever). Starla obviously had enough of this and kicked her mare and now her mare's apparently dead lame.... She was ticked right off with Starla and wanted me to buy her back. The catch was that Starla had spent 4 days in with her paint stud while she was in a raging heat (if Starla caught she's due in March). I offered her back the $300 and she agreed to that over the phone. We made arrangements to go and get her on Sunday...

Saturday night I got an e-mail stating that I would have to sign a contract saying I would pay the $150 stud fee (for a foal that I don't even want) if Starla is infact pregnant (I had planned on giving her a shot of lutalyse so the contract would have meant nothing to me). She also said that I owe her $20 for worming. Starla was HER horse when she decided to worm her! I didn't force her to throw Starla in with the stud, nor did I make her worm her.

Sunday came and went, I didn't get any directions, she also never e-mailled me or phoned me like she had said, so now I don't know what to think.

Looking back, it's like she just wanted her stud bred to outside mares. How am I to know that the alpha mare wasn't dead lame all along?

Ia slo found out we have a friend in common. He said 'she's as crooked as a dog's back leg, stay away from her.'

ooo that just sucks QCG I too will keep my eye out ...Poor Starla

**QuarterCowGirl** · 05-05-2008, 11:35 PM

Thanks guys.

I found out that the woman I sold Starla to sold her for sure, I'm just not sure where. I'm guessing Starla is somewhere in Oxford or Brant county. It's like looking for a needle in a hay stack.

Cappysmom · 05-09-2008, 02:09 PM

I will keep my eyes out for her. I am always checking the for sale websites. I don't know why as I have no intention on buying but I will keep lookin for you.

gingerfleguel · 05-10-2008, 03:03 PM

Will the woman not tell you where or whom she sold Starla to????

Nope, how mature eh?

We had some nasty e-mails sent back and forth and she's won't tell me anything.
