Thanks for the advice. I like the assignment of the value as $5000.00 - should make people give the contract a second look!
: We had the same situation when in CA. We sued
: and won. As long as she signed the contract
: she should be held liable. Do you have
: non-ownership clause in your contract? Our
: contract states that we never give up
: ownership. This would called breach of
: contract. You might want to put a penalty
: clause in your contract that states if the
: custodial caregiver(not adopter since
: adopting indicates ownership)shall abide by
: all conditions in the contract and either
: the horse comes back or the caregiver and
: rescue agree that the value of the horse
: shall be $5000 or whatever monetary value
: you want to place on the horse. That will
: usually get their attention.

: Hi - my family does a very limited horse
: rescue (we purchase 2 to 4 at risk horses a
: year, address any health issues, work with
: them daily until we feel they are
: well-mannered and ready to move on to new
: homes and then attempt to find each of them
: an awesome home for life). I am looking for
: any input as to how others out there screen
: for potential adopters. While over all I
: have been very happy with the homes my
: babies have gone to I have one instance
: where I am now suing to have a horse
: returned to me (fingers crossed). Although
: the adopter signed a contract saying that
: she could neither sell the horse, nor give
: her away without my written consent - she
: was given to a person who I am very familiar
: with and who I do not want to have this
: horse. I am looking for any ideas as to how
: I can avoid this in the future. Any ideas,
: suggestions, etc. would be greatly
: appreciated.
