I am the above person stated in this complaint. I am here to defend myself and let the world know the whole story. I was contacted by Peter, Peter was referred to me by a happy customer, after he tried to give the horse back to the mother of the yearling ( cane) and they would not take him. I talked with Peter extensivly about how to help get this yearling handled ( they could not get his feet done without drugs) he sat out in a field with 2 other yearlings. I had told Peter that I could help him in only 2 ways to get the horse broke and sold, or since he had expressed his intrest in getting a broke horse, I had a mare that we had used a tease mare for the stallion (cane's father). I had purchased the mare for a tease mare, but my friend was in the process of a divorce and this was her 6 yr old daughter's horse. They had her for approx.3 yrs and I had her for 8 months. Over the 8 months the mare had not been off. Since Peter could not get Cane in a trailer, I thought it would be easier to drop Gracie off and use my big trailer to get cane in (more inviting). We got Gracie unloaded and I got on her bareback and with a halter and lead (she had been ridden by a 6 yr old, so I knew she was safe) and rode her around the yard. I offered to Peter to ride her and he siad no. He liked her. We turned her out and sedated cane and loaded him. I asked Peter how he liked Gracie and if we were good on the trade. He said yes and we went in his house and transfered signed papers. According to AQHA/APHA and as far as the law goes, the DEAL IS DONE. I had no knowledge that this mare had a problem. They called me a month after we had traded. It is true I didn't call them back. There was no reason to, they had left a large # of abrasive messages and there was no reason to deal with threatning people. The DEAL WAS DONE WITH THE TRANSFERE OF SICNED PAPERS, IT IS THE FL. LAW. Since then, they have come overwith the mare asking for the cane ( now broke and have $5k in training in) back, this is after anything could have happened to that mare while out of my custody. Not to mention that Peter has left a number of threatning messages on my phone( I have them recorded. I'm sorry they had no knowledge of the law, I'm sorry they didn't have any experience with training horses, but knowing this side of the story it is hard to feel sorry for someone like that. When you buy a used carcan you return it after a month with no warrenty???? All horses (and almost anything else is AS-IS/WHERE -IS. Thank you for your time.
