5R RACEHORSE STABLES

Chatham County Court agreed with 5R Stables that Paula Turner withheld their property and ordered her to return it. She claims that it was stolen after all. Question: why didn't she tell 5R before having to go to court? 5R had asked for the property repeatedly over the course of several months but she never mentioned any problem or theft. Later, Ms. Turner offered to give a thoroughbred colt as value to replace the allegedly stolen property. 5R, through the court by notice from the Sheriff, asked for proof that Ms. Turner had the Jockey Club Foal Registration certificate in order to consummate a potential deal.
Ms. Turner never came forward with proof and never responded in any way shape or form to the request. So there was a continuum of evasion and non-communication. The most likely reason is that Ms. Turner never actually owned the colt and did not have possession of the Jockey Club registration.
After a reasonable amount of time after offering the colt, the Chatham County Court withdrew funds from Ms. Turner's personal banking account to pay for the property that she claimed was stolen. Eventually the Clerk of Court of Chatham County issued a check to 5R from the State of North Carolina for ~$700.
By the way, as a practical demonstration of the pattern of irresponsibility practiced by Ms. Turner, she told the court that she had left the property ($700 of photographic equipment) on the porch unattended so that FedEx could pick it up. The court was not impressed and ordered her to reimburse 5R Stables.

I've done some research on this case and it looks like this 'report' is more a personal attack than accurate criticism. You can see that in the vicious tone of the writing. I don't know what the personal issues are between the poster and Ms. Turner, but there are many people out there who have been very happy with her work

Funny this person doesnt include all of the information about his claims. The horses he sent to Ms Turner were horribly abused by their previous owners. they were sent to Ms Turner after they had reasearched her and her abilities.
The horses he speaks of were in very bad shape upon their arrival and had very little interaction with people due to their previous lifestyle. I think the results this NEW Owner was expecting were unrealistic. I ahve been a client of Ms. Turner's for many years. She has always been straight forth and honest in my dealings with her on MANY HORSES! All of which i had very successful outcomes with.
I wonder what was this persons financial commentment was in training these horses? People who are NOT horse people should not get involved unless they are properly educated to REASONABLE outcome. I hope their dreams arent dashed when these horses regardless of who trains them are unable to meet their expectations.
Also lets keep in mind these were RESCUED horses...involved in a HUMANE case and thus the owners are seeking attention.
I find it odd Ms Turner has trained hundreds of horses in her lengthy career and this person is the only one I find on the net tooting a horn.
