Re: Equine attorneys

Hi Judy,
Wish I had some legal advice for you. Just want to say that I think that if
this person's heart were in the right place, she would not be offering you
another horse when you paid very good money for a specific horse. You should
demand all of your money back so that you can select your own horse. (You
could take a look at her horses and if interested offer to purchase but it
should be separate and apart from this current transaction). And if you do
not locate an attorney with Equine specialties, I would suggest finding a
good business attorney. The law is applicable to a horse purchase as it is
to any other business transaction. I do wish you success in getting your
money. It is a real bummer to select a fine horse and then find that there
are serious problems. You probably have started to bond with this horse and
that makes it doubly hard.
Wishing you success,
Pat Super

> Not sure if I really even want to pursue this, but would like to know
where I stand if I do.  I purchased a horse for endurance, the owner knew
what I wanted her for, and did not disclose that the horse had a history of
tying up.  To be honest, she did not think it was a problem as she hadn't
had problems since she was pulled off the track.  Now I have the horse, and
she has tyed up twice, with very little exercise.  I can't even hand walk
her without her tying up.  The owner is offering me an "almost 3 year old"
in exchange.

another year or so to start riding.

your opinions also.
