Kris Smith Quality Horses

I follow The KS Horses page on Facebook. I liked alot of horses but when Kris posted cowboy buckskin quarter horse . I knew he was the one. I called Kris paid for the horse over the phone and he set up transport and literally two days later I had the horse home and went on trail ride that evening. I always dreaded buying a horse before but with KS it was so quick and easy

I never bought a horse on a online auction so I was very skeptical. I made the trip 5 hours out to see the place. The place is really nice and Kris and the girl working for him were.very nice and made me feel comfortable. I rode the horse . Fell in love . Had a pre-purchase exam done and long story short bought the horse and had a great fall trail riding. Thanks again KS Horses!

I went to the ks select sale last spring. Was very impressed with the arena and set up of sale ring. Very clean place and horses a had very green alfalfa hay in front of them.

Bought a nice palomino gelding off Kris last winter. Weather was horrible didn't ride all winter and rode great in the spring and trail rode him a total of 128 miles logged on him.

I have bought 4 horses off KS Horses and very happy with them . I have never been to his place . Always bought over the phone. One horse wasn't a good fit so he traded out and paid half the shipping. Now I have 4 horses that my family and I enjoy trail riding

Takes great care and has a nice selection of quality horses and offers a trade back guarantee

There is an equestrian youtuber named RaleighLink that did a personal review of Horsebid, you can look it up and watch if you'd like. A fellow boarder, a personal friend of hers, bought a horse off horsebid. Horse was not as advertised. Ended up being much older, Grade, untrained, lame, severely underweight, and had facial cancer! She paid 15k for a 6 yr old 16.3 gyspy draft cross, super well trained, with photos of that gelding being riden and was in great health. Horsebid claims they vet their sellers and that you can trust them. But when you read their disclaimer they claim horsebid is not responsible for 3rd party info, horses are sold as is, and after horse is sold no PPE is allowed, before money is transferred buyer must invest in contacting seller to allow a PPE and visit before purchase but seller is not required to allow this for a potential buyer, money must be given and after that buyer is responsible for shipping and any subsequent care. Yet they advertise that these horses are accurately advertised, sellers are gone over with a fine toothed comb, and that you can trust what you are seeing, it's all lies, do NOT ever buy a horse site unseen and/or without a PPE done by a vet you have paided for!

I didn't know anything about online auctions. I saw that horsebid was supposed to have only "premier" horses. I also heard good things about Kris Smith. So, around memorial day I was looking for horse and saw a really pretty mare that was supposed to be sound and safe, which is what I needed as I am olde. I got in the last day of the sale and ended up spending a lot of money on the horse of my dreams. Her video was great and was really happy when she arrived. I rode her lately this past summer because it was so hot. Recently she came up lame and I called the vet. Long story short she has severe ringbone. I am devastated and will do whatever it takes to help her get sound. However, it is a big disappointment and I spoke to Kris as the auction was closing because I didn't have time to get a vet check. So, all I can say is be careful about these auctions. Someone must have known she wasn't sound and she never should have been auctioned on that site.

Sells 20 year horses all the time and says they are 10- 13 years old, you met your match. Class action lawsuit coming soon

After communicating to Kris what I needed in a horse he sent me information on a nice gelding. The gelding sounded perfect for me. It got closer to the time to arrange pick up and Kris informed me the horse had gotten an abscess, and in Kris's words " I don't want you to take him until he is right". So I waited a week and messaged Kris about the horses progress and Kris told me it was going to take a longer time to heal the abscess. He told me he had gotten in another gelding that also met my list of needs. He sent me a couple photos and I was a bit nervous about giving him a try without seeing a video of him being ridden. Kris was out of town at the time, but called his wife and asked her to make a special video just because I asked, and a couple hours later I had a video that put my mind at ease and I purchased the gelding. He is a big built dark bay sweetheart. He is quiet and so very smart. I couldn't be happier. Thank you Kris and family for working with me on my purchase of Ozark (now named Tank) ♥️

I have bought a couple horses from Kris, and with my most recent purchase, Kris went out of his way to make things right for us and make sure we were taken care of! Kris is a man of his word, he follows through and does what he says he will do!

I bought on January 15th 2022 from Kris Smith quality horses with explanations of exactly what I was looking for and what they sent was totally different. Age started at 11. Ended at 19 per my vet. His teeth were so bad I had to have them floated. 5-15yrs old
2nd. Height. Under 15.2. Ended up over 16hds. A disabled senior trying to get up on this to tall horse. 3rd: temperament. Was to be a quiet trail horse. He is the opposite
He is hot down trails. Go go speed event type personality. I have tried to resolve this with him and he has delited all our communications and blocked me. I'm just trying to get my money back as this horse is totally wrong for us. Family horse. No way. He leaves me no choice but to committed this way as he refuses to make this right. Beware. He will take your money and say Bye!

I bought a horse a number of years ago, that I was told was dead broke. I road him at the sale barn and he was fine. This horse was going to be for children to ride. Got it home, and after about 24 hrs his personality changed completely, rearing, and biting. Most often a horse will be nervous upon arriving at a new home, not 24 hrs later. Kris replaced with another, no refund, this one was not any better and tried to eat my barn. I have many horses, and I have never had an experience close to what I had with his 2 horses, that were supposed to be dead broke. Both instances it was 1-2 days later the horses mental state started to change. I read in other responses from Kris Smith, that he doesn’t know what happened, or what was done to the horse after it left his barn. Well, we do not know what goes on with your horses before us buyers get to your barn 🧐. My ferrier’s father (who has years of experience) ended up in the hospital after buying a dead broke super sounds horse off him also.
Through my experience him, in my opinion, he is a lying pompous a$$.
Buyers beware!

I read these reviews and thought “only extremists write these, it won’t happen to me.” I bought a horse from Kris off horse bid.com. In his video he appeared well trained - WTC in the ring and the field. As well as a confident trail horse.

The horse arrived and while beautiful and sound it was instantly clear this horse was not as advertised. He was petrified of people and tacking him was a half hour process where the horse was extremely anxious. Under saddle, the horse had great potential, but needed daily training from an expert. Certainly not what I was expecting after spending 5 figures on a finished horse. Most importantly, this horse that was advertised as safe, bolted and dumped its rider three times — reacting to a change in the wind.

In the past month with lots of patience this horse has learned that people are kind. He’s been rehomed to a rider capable of handling his antics. Working with Kris was a massive waste of money, stress, and resulted in rider injury (torn shoulder ligament and whiplash). Sellers need to be held responsible for this level of dishonesty before someone winds up extremely hurt or dead.

We purchased two horses off horsebid.com this summer. We couldn’t be happier with our purchases! I have never bought a horse sight unseen before but with the 10 day auction period I was able to talk to the sellers multiple times and have a vet check. The consignors where friendly and attentive to my 9000 questions and the horses are everything and more than I could of ever dreamed of! I’ll definitely be purchasing my next horse thru HorseBid.com

Buyers Beware- My family purchased a horse from horsebid.com and KS Horses that was not the horse as advertised. In fact our horse is unable to safely canter or gallop and was on stall rest for 5 weeks. Not what I expected after many conversations with both entities.

I bought a horse from him 5 yeas ago and still very happy. Yes he’s a dealer.. but what I liked was if I wasn’t happy I could return her within 30 days and trade for another .. that’s better than most dealers!

Bought a horse for 5100. Horse had lameness issues. He did trade horses with me and gave me a horse worth half the price of what I paid. Saw he tried to sell the returned horse which still looked lame for another 5 thousand. I lost 3300 dollars on the whole ordeal. Never would buy another horse from him.

such a good boy...just like his video showed

This is Kris S [redacted] responding to a customer complaint from [redacted] Id number [redacted] .I personaly do not remember the horse or [redacted] as we sell alot of horses in a years time and since the purchase of the horse is coming up on a year agoI have never drugged a horse She states the horse has rode great at my place , it is impossible for me to guarantee what a horse will do after they leave my control and possession If [redacted] would of called and let me know the horse was not working out I would have traded her for another horse as I offer to anyone who buys a horse from me that if they dont work out and the people are nice I will always trade for anther horse within a monthIt is impossible for me to do anything to help [redacted] when she never calls and tells me she is having a problemInstead of turning this into the Revdex.com all she had to do was pick up the phone and call me and I would have been more then happy to trade her out for a equal value horseWhich is way more then most other people that sell horses will do as they most all sell them as is with no refunds and trade backsThank You, Kris S***
