I have a stallion question, but in a different area. I co-own a perlino TWH stallion with a lady in Louisiana and I live in Kansas. We are both on the registration papers. We had a verbal agreement which I know now was not the thing to do. We agreed that the stallion would stay at my place to stand for breeding and that I would split the breeding fees 50/50 with no charges on my own mares and I have four to breed this year. He just turned 3 last October and I bred one mare, a palomino, to him last summer as a test for fertility and to have a foal on the ground for people to see. He settled the mare.
The co-owner paid the initial purchase price for him, but since then I have paid all expenses, training for four months, vet, testing for color genetics, shipping costs, boarding and construction of a special paddock for him 36 x 160 feet. I have just spent $800 in advertising for the 2001 season and have limited the number of mares because he is young.
The problem is that the co-owner has just notified me that she wants to breed some of her mares to him and it would be too hard to ship them to my place for breeding. She stated that she will pick the stallion up in July. I reminded of our agreement and she now says I just made it up. I asked her what I am supposed to do about mares I have booked through the summer? She says all mares should be bred by July and it is business with her. It is past the ability to resolve peacefully because I got very emotional and made her mad. The stallion is really a sweet horse and easy to handle but very timid and easily scared by loud or rough handling.
i have tried to buy her out but she won't name a price.
Anyone got any suggestions.

You need to contact a lawyer Elsie.
