Stolen Horse--Man is BACK in jail!

[ScoobyRoo]

Rin, this is not directed at you but wanting others to know more of why would someone lease an animal.

Those 'people' that cant BELIEVE that someone would lease a horse/pet needs to look at the unforeseen. I broke my tail bone giving birth (anyone experienced that before knows it hurts like he!!) My DH doesn't ride, and my oldest child was 2 years old. The best thing to do at the time was lease him (I just loaned to a friend, with no mishaps) to keep him in line as he was young too. I was concerned that if he wasn't ridden or handled enough he would fall back into his yearling mode.

So, please, those of you who would NEVER do such a thing and can't believe someone else would lease their horse (family member as one put it)....Remember there are all sorts of scenarios,,,kids going to college for the summer, death in another state that may take time to settle, long term injuries,,,,the list could go on.

I would think you are doing you and your animal the benefit of having someone else feed/ride/handle,,,, to keep the horse (in ropo's case) in shape.

Remember the flip side. The leasee may not have the money to buy a great horse but has a chance to lease one to hone his/her skill of riding, rodeo'ing, shows etc,

unfortunately, ropo picked the wrong person.

Ropo.
I had a registered palomino and his name was 'Torque Boston Blaze' They are a sight to behold! 'Boston's only delimma was I had to put sunblock on his nose every sunny and hot day as he would get a sunburn. I ended up selling him to the lady I loaned him to since I had another child and they were my priority.

Best wishes!! Have plenty of carrots handy!

Those people need to learn not to knock something until they know what it is. XD Now that I know what it is, I can't

To the one who made a comment about WHO would lease a horse out...
It happens every day on every level of the horse industry that horses
are leased. For breeding, showing, every day use, all sorts of reasons.
To assume that the one who leased the horse out deserves to have this
happen really knows very little about the horse industry at all.

A lease is a binding legal document that this yahoo broke.

RoPo, I'm in your corner.

Not just horses too, many people rent out alpacas and goats and such as anything from weed eaters to borrowed wombs. Llamas are regularly leased for days or weeks for packing. It all depends on the uses of the animal.

Congrats on your small win. Ill bet you have SO many thing you would like to say to that man! Im glad you were able to keep control. With all you've been through, I dont know that I could have been that strong. Waiting for the EPIC WIN when you get Max back!

I've leased out my mini horse herd to a yahoo up north of me. Then she decided my stud was infertile and got no babies out of him and wanted out of the contract, threaten with lawyer, etc. I was ticked when I got my stud back along with his girls and the wonderful person who delivered my herd back to my aunt's farm, Laurie Stevens, she was appalled of what Beau looked like. He was literally starved and my mares were in fine condition. No wonder he was not breeding successfully. So I quickly got the vet out and got him back in shape and in the following year, despite of his condition, he sired two foals. I can not for the life of me understand this woman, living with a young trainer, good looking he was and sleeps all day and all night. Never again I would deal with her. She has been in the horse business for many years but this time with some of the mini horse folks, including Lowell Boone, they told me she went downhill and sort of mental problems going on.

Then my herd was sold after I had to make a decision either to ride the horse to work or get a new truck. So I had to get a new truck. Then this new owner that bought Beau had taken very good care of him and leased him to the petting zoo which I found him there and he looked very good for an old horse. He lived to be 29 years old.

Would I lease a horse out again? Yes I would but with strict background check and vet referrals may be the thing I need to look at.

Absolutely. It also happens for rare bloodlines in vanishing breeds to "spread the wealth", so to speak, like if one owner wants a year off from breeding but another owner wants those bloodlines from the stallion or mare in question...owner #2 might lease a mare from owner #1 to put to her stallion, or some such. It can work out very beneficially for everyone involved. This is just a case where it didn't.

Has there been any new Repo I am sitting on pins and needles and praying so hard max is home by this weekend. I know horses are leased all the time. for breeding riding ect it is just horrible that this happened to you I hope justice finally happens are you thinking of taking the uncle to court for the money this has cost you I would at least look at small claims you don't need a lawyer and he doesn't get one either we saw what happened the last time he acted like his own lawyer I think you should sue for damages and the loss of the money you could have gotten from having your horse all this time plus travel cost and time off from work. good luck and praying for you and max.

Or the slap happy Judge Joe Brown!

Each time the uncle inserts foot in mouth, Judge Joe would rack up the $$ puntive damages awarded to RoPo!
