IMO this is a risk you take dealing with horse selling/trading. They are out there!

Eh, I'm willing to believe she did not raise many red flags before the trade. It's possible.

But when things started turning in the emails...I do agree you could've handled it better or just not responded at all. From her responses, it really sounds like you fueled her fire and did get down to name calling. Which I'm sure we all would have WANTED to do in your situation, but it's not professional as others have said. And probably was responsible for some of the escalating of the correspondence.

I dunno what posting it here is doing except providing you a means to vent. But you will get opinions of course. Just trying to help you maybe take a step back in the future before answering things like this. Even if she is crazy and it's evident from her postings, your reputation will still get drug through the mud a good bit by things like this. Not worth it.

Sorry you had to go through that! And the horse too.
