I am the proud new owner of RAWHIDE! And I couldn’t be more excited about what a perfect fit he appears to be me and my family.
As an older guy, I was looking for an “ ultra-safe” horse. I had previously purchased from one of the popular online auction sites with a horse that I received was “not as billed”, so I was very skeptical and cautious this time around….and I have to say , Duane is the most patient and kind gentleman that loves to talk about horses. He answered ALL my questions (about several of his horses) in a very timely manner via text messaging. He asked all the right questions about me and what I was looking for in a horse, so that he could ensure a good fit – not only for me, but for the horse as well and that really impressed me. Now on to RAWHIDE….. Although I am not NEARLY as good a rider as his trainer (Jeremy), Rawhide was everything he was advertised to be! The sales video that Buckeye Farms put together for Rawhide, was right on the money; they spent a great deal of time showcasing Rawhide’s wonderful temperament, personality and many skills. I have ridden Rawhide in the ring several times and have enjoyed 2 long trail rides, and he was excellent – I felt extremely safe, which was my number one priority. Once I purchased Rawhide and transported him home, I had some general questions about him and his harness. Duane returned my call right away and we had a pleasant 30-minute conversation. Moreover, I am planning on visiting his lodge later this month for a “driving lesson” since Rawhide rides and drives. I very rarely write reviews, but my experience with buying Rawhide was so great – not only with Duane, but with his terrific trainers and staff at Buckeye Acres Farm. I am a VERY satisfied customer!
