Kelsey Myers- Horse flipper- Joplin, Mo. area

The back story is this:
 
A Joplin Missouri Equine group rescues horses from kill buyers; horse brokers who purchase horses to sell for slaughter.

The Joplin group collects "bail" to purchase the horses from the "kill buyer", makes the purchase, rehabs the horses, and find them good homes.

The mare in question was purchased from the kill buyer for an estimated $550.00, by the Joplin rescue group.

Kelsey Myers was agreeable to take the horse on, under the verbal agreement that she would rehab the horse.

But Myers didn’t have the entire amount to "bail" the horse out. She only had $150.00.

Believing that Myers' would be providing the horse a good home and it would be vetted and cared for, the Joplin group raised an additional $400 to make the mare's bail.

Within four days of Myers taking possession of the mare, she listed the mare FOR SALE ON CRAIG'S LIST FOR A WHOPPING $800.

As soon as the head of the Joplin group saw the ad on Craig's list she called Myers out and offered to refund Myers $150 if she would just return the mare.

Realizing she'd been ousted for what would certainly be considered unethical behavior, even for a horse dealer/broker, Myers removed the ad from Craig's List. She replied to the head of the Joplin group that they could certainly have the mare back, but the Joplin leader would have to pay her $800 and not the $150 Myers had originally invested.

Myers first told us (Pet Flippers Exposed) that she put the $800 price tag on the horse to insure it got a good home and was not resold. If that were true why would she not return the horse, get her refund, and be done with the matter?

Because her intent was never to rescue the horse. It was to sell it for profit. She's a flipper plain and simple.

Myers committed fraud when she took possession of the horse under the guise of rescue. A horse paid for through donations that were made by people under the impression the horse was somehow being rescued.

The fact that Myers led the Joplin group to believe she would be rehabbing the mare was a scam when her intent the whole time was to make a cool few hundred bucks off the mare, at the expense of others who donated to the horse’s “rescue.”

It is without a doubt that no one donating money for the mare’s bail had any idea that Myers would be flipping the animal in a matter of days.

Myers does NOT have a license through the Missouri Department of Agriculture to broker/deal/trade horses. She is trading illegally. She is not rescuing horses, she is buying and selling them without proper care, quarantine, or vetting.

HORSE RESCUERS- Stay clear of Kelsey Myers. Her intent is not to rescue animals but to make money off of flipping them for a quick profit.

HORSE TRADERS- If you are dealing with Kelsey Myers, be aware that horse that come from rescue should be quarantined for a minimum of 21 days after purchase. Make sure you know where the horses you are getting from Myers are coming from. If they are from a rescue and she flips them within days with no rehab, vetting, or quarantine, your purchase from her could cause illness and death in your own animals.

The Mare is safely back in rescuers hands. Myers SOLD the mare back to the same rescuers she duped out of the money to obtain the horse. Price tag, $800.
