Thunder in the Eastern Sierra Nevada
Have any of you folks that have subscribed to Equus for a long time been very dissipointed with them? I a couple years ago I Paid for 24 issues of E. I got a couple issues and then moved. The Post office was informed of my move from Saratoga Springs, UT to Springville, Ut; To Laney Vantassell 2452 West 500 So. Springville, ut 84663 I believe I only received one issue and I was not going to get the 24 I had paid for. I have been calling since April to please send me some of issues I have paid for . They keep telling me a date they would arrive on. This has happened over and over again and I have never received even 1 issue from them. Please do not order from them as they have been very dishonest with me. Thanis you. Lilian allred? Laney Jason VanTassell
