Trainer Sued By Client When Trying to Collect Payment - Don't Let This Happen to You!    By Elizabeth McMillan

Call it a coincidence, but I came across an article last week that so speaks to why we are hosting an Equine Law seminar for horse professionals TODAY  at 5:00 pm that as much as I hate any negative press about the horse industry - I feel compelled to mention it. It appears a trainer is being sued by two of her clients. There were no written agreements in place, only an oral agreement that "the center would provide proper care for the horses in exchange for monthly payments". So, when the trainer attempted to hold the horses until the bills were paid - all hell broke loose! Click here to read the full article.

East Bay barn thefts are ongoing - be alert for suspicious cars/persons!

Suspects are going into unlocked vehicles and taking visible purses, wallets, and valuables. They have also entered through truck rear slide windows. So far the "hit time" seems to consistently be between 4:30 and 6:30 pm, although the suspect has been sighted as early as 2:30 pm.  In the Briones/Martinez area Hossmoor has been hit twice, as well as Poplar Place, Leap of Faith Farms, and Bottomley Farms. There have been several sightings of 1-2 African American men driving a white Honda civic, older model, with hubcaps on the passenger side that are either non-existent or rusty.  If you see a car or persons matching this description at your barn or park/open space, be sure to call the police immediately.
