Re: [RC] breeding contracts again - Bette Lamore

Hi Carol
You have legal recourse. I would file in Small Claims and see what happens-- no attorneys are involved in that venue. She withdrew the stallion which was your prerequisite for breeding (and who would want to breed to a savage stallion anyway?!) so consider yourself lucky that you did not breed to him (although his viciousness could have been due to bad handling in all fairness to him) and attempt to get your deposit back. Verbal contracts made in California are valid in all cases except real estate; just make sure the same is true in Oregon.
Good luck!
Bette

Thank you to all who answered my question awhile back about breeding contracts. You gave me some good insight as to what to expect.
I could use some further input....... The situation is this:
(Does not involve anyone on Ridecamp)
1. The owner of the stallion was to bring him to my home town to stand at a place I'm familiar/comfortable with where he would be handled by someone who has handled well over 20 stallions successfully in the past. I & several others were only willing to breed if he were here locally.
2. When the owner & I met, she had forgotten the mare contracts but wanted me to pay the booking fees for both of my mares. I paid her one booking fee & said I'd send her the other one just as soon as I received the contracts.
3. She never sent any contracts.
4. While trying to tease a mare, the stallion savaged the local handler (bite her on the breast, collarbone, got her on the ground & stomped on her back & arm).
5. Owner has taken the stallion home (200 miles away).
6. Owner says too bad about my booking fee, she's keeping it.
Any words of wisdom from you all would be appreciated.
