INTIMIDATION
Gmom:
My granddaughter received papers today that she is being sued in Small Claims court for almost $5000 -- board for her horse that she removed from the Whitmore a couple of weeks ago -- by Mark Sudweeks. Does he think that an 18-year-old girl has property, assets, a secret account with thousands of dollars? Obviously, not. I call it an attempt at INTIMIDATION, pulling a young girl, whose family lives in another state, into court facing the BYU educated 50+ year Mark Sudweeks. These people are really running scared -- scared because she is speaking the truth. She knows it and they know it. Mark Sudweeks is a coward, no doubt about it. I quess, the THREATS didn't work, so they are trying something else. But, that's not going to work, either. The truth will be told.[ This Message was edited by: Gmom on 2005-03-09 17:33 ]

Maybe she can counter sue for the use of the horse for the months it was there. It was my understanding that several of the students rode the horse for "therapy." Sounds like a fair exchange to me!

Now why doesnt that suprise me? I agree with the other poster. If no agreement was made, it is their word against hers, and their word is not very good at the moment. I am sure it was more an informal arangement that she bring her horse with her, so if no written agreement is there, she will be fine. They cannot suddenly decide on a payment if there wasnt a written contract on it now can they.
I also feel they are just feeling the pressure right now. It may get a bit hot for awhile but it will be ok. My heartfelt encouragement to your grandaughter, she doesnt deserve this at all. I have every confidence this will be thrown out of court.

I agree. This is a minor, petty issue. Even if she ignores it and defaults, it's only $5k. Looks like a lot of money to an 18yo kid, but it's really not. And all she has to do is show up, preferably w/ a halfway decent local lawyer. And maybe anon is right. She might even get one to work on the prospect of getting recompance for the use of the horse in their 'therapeutic' program. What the hell are they gonna do, admit that they don't run a therapeutic program involving horses?
Could be fun. Doesn't cost anything to shop the case around a little. And if rumors about local horse lovers sentiments toward these folks are well founded, it shouldn't be too hard to find a sympathetic lawyer in the area.
Just tell Leah to not worry. This really is a tempest in a teapot.
