SARANAC LAKE — The co-owner of a popular horse camp, horse rescue and sleigh riding business in Lake Clear has been charged with felony grand larceny for allegedly defrauding a customer of more than $10,000 in August.

State police arrested Natalia DeValinger of Adirondack Wild Horse Camp on Monday. DeValinger and her husband Travis operate XTC Ranch at 766 Franklin County Route 18 (Forest Home Road) in Lake Clear. Several other business names are linked to the same website, phone number and address, including Adirondack Equine Center, Adirondack Equine Center and Horse Rescue and Saddleback Horse Camp of Lake Placid. An internet search for “Lake Placid horseback riding” or “Lake Placid sleigh rides” also links to the XTC Ranch website and phone numbers.

Natalia DeValinger is charged with defrauding a man from Catskill, New York, who signed up for two weeks of horse camp in summer. The man alleges that he canceled his trip and demanded a refund, having paid $2,720 for the camp. According to the allegations, not only was the refund never granted, but DeValinger continued to charge the man’s credit card, with a total monetary loss to the victim of $10,047.

The horse camp hosts groups of children for overnight camp at the ranch, where they learn horseback riding. The DeValingers own up to 40 horses, many of which are rescues, and have been featured in several area magazines.

At the time of Natalia DeValinger’s arrest, she was not living with Travis.

She was arraigned for one count of grand larceny in the third degree in Harrietstown town court on Monday before Justice Ken McLaughlin. She was remanded to the Franklin County Jail in Malone in lieu of $8,000 cash bail or $16,000 bond. By Tuesday afternoon, she had posted bond. She is scheduled to reappear in Harrietstown court on Dec. 11.

This is not the DeValingers’ first run-in with the law.

On May 27 of this year, Travis was charged with aggravated sexual abuse in the second degree. Negotiations with the victim and the district attorney resulted in that charge being reduced to assault in the third degree, for which Travis DeValinger was sentenced to probation. He currently faces a possible violation of the terms of his probation and is scheduled to return to Harrietstown town court at 3 p.m. Nov. 27.

In 2015, the DeValingers filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which was granted.

On March 20, 2012, Travis DeValinger, then listed as living in Keeseville, was arrested and charged with forgery relating to a transaction with a local tractor sales business. According to the police report, he had forged signatures on paperwork filed with the tractor sales business. Charged with two counts of second-degree possession of a forged instrument, he was remanded to Essex County Jail on $10,000 cash bail. That charge was later reduced to a charge of disorderly conduct, a violation. DeValinger was fined $100 with a surcharge of $125. He paid the costs, and the case was closed.

In March 2008, Travis DeValinger was charged with felony grand larceny for allegedly writing a bad check to a Saranac Lake bank. According to the police report, DeValinger knew he did not have funds to cover the check. That charge was also reduced. In February 2009 DeValinger pleaded guilty to petit larceny and given a conditional discharge.
