David Mitchell Trugon Ranch HORSE WAS STARVED Whitewright, Texas

6th of Nov, 2011 by User696050

Took my horse for training to Trugon Ranch. David was there and told me that my horse would need a coggins test, which I paid the money for and a ferrier was needed as well, as well as the training fee and boarding. I never saw a Coggins test and his feet were NEVER done. I got ahold of the guy that was actually training the horse and he said the the horse (which is a hard keeper) was never being fed rice bran or grain, that he wasn't being fed two times daily, and when I told David that my horse was a hard keeper, I mean you really had to put the feed to him. Well Aldrich was the rider, and did help the horse with manners and I went out there several times and he was not in a stall which I was paying for, had bite marks ALL over his body, his legs was bandadged saying that another horse had kicked him. The flies were all over his leg, I don't even think a vet was called, it was deep. This was a 5000.00 horse I had brought to him for a "tune up". Anyway, he was very flirty and wanted to hug me, I thought my husband was going to kick his ass. I finally got fed up after 2 months, and lines of bullshit, and not seeing David out there, and seeing the conditions and knowing the lies I was being told because Aldrich was telling me otherwise and of not seeing anything but a horse going down hill, I got my husband to immediately drive up there and I kept asking, Is this my horse?? I couldn't believe it, I did NOT recognize my OWN horse, within a week he would have been dead. David is a scam, he was never there, you have to wonder why he couldn't keep any help and his wife left him. I read that he is a con artist and looked it up and he does have an extensive criminal record. Too bad he wasn't the person he said or led everyone to believe. I was going to call the SPCA, but when I found out about his reputation, I was trully scared of retaliation on his part, hell, he has nothing to lose. The horses out there had to be 20 of them, were all piled around one round bale of hay, with no hay ring and it was spread all over the ground and looked like they were so hungry, it made me sad. I know who the lady is that had her two horses there. They were beautiful horses and I saw hers weren't being treated right as well. We left equipment there also that got "lost".
