A very dear friend has a small horse boarding facility in central New Jersey, in a very "horsey" area. He also works a full time job and is single. (a man with a good job and he's strait and single! ) Board in this "horsey" area ranges from $350 a month field keep, to $2800 a month luxury suits...I mean stalls. This friend charges a meager $350 for "basic" board, which means the horse is outside, weather permitting, and in stall when inclement or cold weather arrives. The feed is a higher grade Purina product, and the hay is locally grown, both are supplied twice a day to each horse. He also has an on sight ferrier, and the best Veterinarian in two states on call. What he does not have is an indoor ring or wash stall. He boards mostly to people who we have known from prior boarding facilities (before we each had our own) or by referral from those same people. Thomas (my friend) got a call about 5 months ago, from a man he had never met, about boarding. The man was having an affair, and wanted to buy his goohma a horse and pay cash for the board, all through Thomas. The deal was made, board agreement signed, and cash money was exchanged between the two men. The deal was for 1 horse @ $350 a month, and the gentlemen paid for 4 months board in advance. Everyone was happy. For a minute. The goomah breaks up with the married man about three weeks later. The married man calls and tells Thomas they are no longer a together, and she is on her own financially for the animal. Thomas asks if she is employed, and married man tells him this: She is an EX cop, who was fired for STEALING from the township she was employed by. She was CONVICTED and did a small stretch. After her release, she was caught shoplifting from a department store, again convicted. She has an online job, no one is quite sure what it is or how much she makes. Thomas is shocked. Mostly at how forthright this guy has been with him, from his being married to the cop/convict part. But he has a signed contract with the man, and he honors it. 1 month passes. Goomah stomps into Thomas's home one morning, while I was there. I excused myself from the room, but stayed in the general vicinity (closer to the fire place!). I could hear them clearly, and they could both plainly see my legs. Goomah starts to berate Thomas about how she wants a round pen provided, and for her horse to be stall kept exclusively, with blanketed evening turnout for three hours then return to his stall, after it's been stripped and rebedded. DAILY. All for the same price as previously agreed upon, but NOT CONTRACTED WITH HER. I admit, I laughed out loud, and glanced around the corner to look at Thomas, who looked wildly amused by this womans arrogance at demanding costly purchases and seriously inconvenient amount of attention paid to her one animal on a farm that houses 20 other horses. She knew at once that she was not going to get any of her demands met, certainly not at $350 a month. She was up for re-contracting the board herself in less than two months, or she could remove her horse at the end of the contracted agreement. The following day (yes, I was still there) she comes back, only thins time she declares she and her horse are leaving the facility, and she wants the overage from the advance board payments ($700) made by the married guy. Thomas and I both just stared at her, amazed at her gall. She paid nothing for the horse, nothing for the board, had no contract with Thomas at all. And now she wants cash that isn't hers. This all happened about 3 months ago. She and her horse long gone. Yesterday, Thomas was served with court papers. She is suing him for $700. She claims on those documents that she also wants to recoup legal fees, which are stated at $1500, but no attorney is listed on the filing. What do you all make of this? Another scammer trying to get something for nothing? Or does she have a legitimate claim?
