MORE INFORMATION ...
Possible trade gone bad - I was considering trading a reining trained gelding I own for an older gelding that I was told had won a lot of money in penning/sorting, was an excellent trail rider, and that kids had ridden him. If the older gelding rode satisfactorily for me, I would trade my breeding stock paint gelding to them in return for the older, grade gelding, a generator, and two months training on mares for 30 days.
I took my horse to the people that I was considering trading with and left him with them while I took their gelding and tried him out. I did not leave my horse's registration papers or current coggins with them since the deal was not final. I took the horse to a sorting, my roommate saddled him up for me, I mounted the gelding, he started backing up, turned, started bucking and threw me.
I called the owner (I later found out these people didn't really own this gelding, but were trying to sell him for someone else), and told him I was bringing the gelding back. He stuttered around a bit and said ok. It took about 40 minutes to drive to their house, and when we arrived, the man immediately took the horse off the trailer to show us how good he rode. I said he didn't ride satisfactorily for me since he bucked, and I wanted my gelding back.
He said your gelding's not here, you won't ever see him again, get over it, my wife wants him, and it's a civil matter now. I called the sheriff's office, and two deputies came out.
The horse trader ran off to hide, and his wife came out to talk to them. She informed everyone that it's a civil matter, and that she would not give up the horse. She told the deputies if I wanted the older gelding (who had been put in the barn by the husband) I would have to sign over my horse's papers. Of course, I didn't because she was trying to force me to give up my horse.
They have both horses, and she has taken them off the property claiming she had sold my gelding, still demanding his papers. She said that if I didn't, I would be like those two other people and end up with nothing.
After going to the court house, I found out that they had done this type thing in the past. They have hidden behind the civil court system by not showing up to court. They have judgments against them, but nothing has come of them. The judge filed a writ of sequestration to make her turn the horse over. [She claims] the horse is sold.
We don't know where the two horses are, but she could have possibly sold mine to get rid of him so I couldn't get him back. She is still demanding the papers, calling and threatening me. I talked to the owner of the horse and found out that the name she told me for the older gelding was not the right name, she had also told me the gelding was 9, and he is 12, the owner said the horse had never won any money sorting, that he had just done that for fun, and the story she told me about how this man had sold his horse and gotten him back after he found out he was being abused was not right. After talking to the real owner, I found out the only part about what she told me about the horse that was true was about the abuse.
