I have cared for this horse for 2 years. Showed proof to the police with feed bills and vet bills but to no avail they just let her take my horse. She gave me the horse when I let her put her horse on my property free of charge and we split the feed bills for awhile. As time went on my husband and I ended up taking all the responabilty for both horses. She asked us if she could take our horse to the beach Memorial weekend and we said no and thats when it all started. On May 30 as I walked out side her and 2 police officers walked up my driveway. They asked me if she owned the horse and I said no, that she had given it to me 2 years ago when she put her other horse on my property and she told them that that wasn’t true. So they let her just take my horse. Now I have to take her to court and try to get my horse back.
The police had no warrant she had no papers on the horse the police where her friends.
She just got mad because my husband told her no she couldn’t take the horse to the beach. The next morning when she picked up her horse to go to the beach why didn’t she have the police then. It was a week later when she came back for my horse. I asked the police where is your warrant they said they didnt need one.
Dakkota is my horse and Nikki is her’s. She gave me Dakkota a black and white paint, when we let her put her horse Nikki on our property free of charge. I have known this girl since she was a little girl. I went to school with her mother. She had no where to put these horses and could not feed them both. When we got the horses they where a bag of bones. I had cared and loved both of these horses and made sure they had everything they needed. I have feed bills and vet bills a mile long for Dakkota. I even showed the police the coggins papers from the vet with my signature as owner with the vet signature. And Nikki’s coggin papers with her signature as owner and they told me that wasn’t enough proof. So whats wrong with this picture I ask.

She must have had proof she owned it, take her to court and try to get your money for food and board. Unless you have proof she gave the horse to you it is not yours
in the best sense of judge judy or alex, what physical proof do you have that you had an agreement (contract) with this woman, if you have none, you will lose in court,
You got it. That’s what you have to do. If you can prove you paid to feed it, vet bills, boarding, etc., then my guess is that you can get it back.
In Alaska if you feed a dog for 30 days it’s yours.
I’ll bet something is missing from your story. In these situations, the police never force someone to relinquish property. They will always say, “It’s a civil matter. You’ll have to go to court.” You must have either said something else to the police, or willingly gave up the horse.
If your story is exactly true, then it’s your horse. Once a gift is unconditionally given, it cannot be taken back.
It is surprising that they would force you to turn over the horse under these circumstances. Even if she had papers to prove she had legal title to the horse, you would be entitled to retain the horse on your property until she paid you for boarding it. I agree that something about this story is not quite right. The police almost never get involved in civil matters, and the law frowns on self-help. She should have had to go to court to get the horse back. Make sure you name the police in your lawsuit as well. Are you sure the agreement was not that you could use the horse if you agreed to board it?
