Some of you will remember that in December, I won a charity auction for a breeding to a thoroughbred stallion, choice of Saint Stephen or Tempered Appeal. http://www.barnoneranches.com/index.html The minimum bid was set at $20 and since there were no bids, I put up a bid of $50 to get the ball rolling. Mine was the sole bid. After several of my emails to them, it took them a month to contact me to confirm I had won (confirmed it twice). I sold my riding horse and was about to buy another riding thoroughbred. I had to tell her owner that the deal was off (he seemed very understanding luckily). I bought a better papered, winning broodmare who would have a better chance of producing a runner. The day I bought my mare, I got a call from the magazine group publisher who was supposed to have responsibility for the auction. She told me my bid was too low and they would not honour it. I went to the police who told me it was a civil matter and would back up my decision to fight against the publisher in small claims court (in Canada that's under $20000 or something). Before I took that step, I thought I had better call the stable's breeding and general manager to see what his involvement in this was. I had sort of been led to believe he knew of the situation and was backing out. Thank goodness I called him!!!! Turns out he knew nothing of the event. He called the publisher to get it all worked out, and she boldly lied to his face, saying she knew nothing about anything to do with the auction, the stallion, the bid, contacting me, etc. He then tried to contact the magazine editor that had emailed me about winning the auction, but recieved NO answer, no returning calls etc.He was NOT impressed with this service. <_< Hah.So- he just called me, and asked where he could send the contract We all gonna be Aunties!!!!!
