Horse deal gone bad, your advice?
My husband went to look at a colt last weekend. We are not new to horses. He gave the seller a 50% deposit along with a month's board as our truck is currently in the shop so we would not be able to take him home immediately. The seller cashed both checks. Today she called to say that the colt had to be gone by Sunday as she was going on vacation. We told her that there was no way we could get him this weekend and as far as we were concerned we had until 20th July to collect him. She is now saying that she is keeping our money and will refund it if she can get him sold to someone else soon, but if not she'll consider it part of her expenses for feeding him in the meantime!! What do we do?
Both the deposit and boarding fee were paid by check (with notes as to what they were for).

You can either consult an attorney (and there's not likely much they could do) or borrow a truck and go get him. Count it lesson learned. Get ALL purchase arrangements in writing and signed by all parties before any money changes hands, and get a receipt for money handed over, detailing what it is for, the amount, and any further payment due and when.
Add: Unfortunately, notes on checks aren't going to do much good. They aren't legally binding contracts, and they don't spell out the obligations of the parties involved. If you have an unbiased third party that witnessed the verbal agreement, you might have recourse. Otherwise, this is pretty much a he-said, she-said sort of thing. People simply just can't be trusted to do things honestly anymore.

It sounds such as you have have been given a youthful horse with extra than a number of capability. they actually develop the energy that pass into polo ponies so if he's a youthful horse and caught in a stall this psychoness quite is probable basically exhilaration. no count if it quite is achieveable to improve the quantity of workout this horse gets on a daily foundation gain this - it is going to aleviate a number of your issues. it quite is a floor manners issue. As a medium-sized female i'm no longer contained in an identical place you're to 'rigidity' halters on and a splash a million/2 rear in direction of me is a serious difficulty by way of my top. that's not important if this horse is untrained - if its broke to steer then it quite is time for it to benefit floor manners. i could advise halting different circumstances an afternoon and dealing on getting the horse's head down with each haltering. in case you have a around pen attainable i could propose getting this horse obtainable and doing laps till he's licking his lips and needs to come again in along with his face in direction of you ( an illustration of submission). i could additionally strongly advise backing as punishment jointly as on the lead line. in case you bump the rope and tell him to back every time he gets push or tries to do different issues then ultimately he gets his act mutually as no horse likes shifting backwards. if this horse is a serious difficulty you're able to be able to evaluate getting a stud chain. Yelling will no longer help and the extra stressful you are the extra stressful the horse would be. the important element this is that the horse understand your area. Agressive bumping on the lead will help with this besides as averting loud noises like yelling. It takes time yet you're doing this horse a prefer in case you make an effort to teach him desirable floor manners - it gets him a chuffed perpetually homestead while his polo profession is over.
