Learn from my mistake and if you co-buy a horse, GET A CONTRACT! I feel like a mug. I trusted someone and now they're selling the horse and its likely I will not see a penny of the profits as she is claiming I never gave her money and is getting really nasty. Just what I need!
 
Print off your thread on here about it as that might jog her memory, not proof but might get her thinking!

Have you been paying towards its keep? If not she may consider that she has bought you out!
 
Billie- I bought him a bridle, numnah and headcollars. I also frequently mucked him out. So, no,nt really, but she's bringing Nediinto it, which is wrong!
 
How many months ago was this and how much money did you put into it in the first place? No worries if you don't want to share, I'm just saying that if I had to do the main care, pay for feeding, livery etc I might consider that I had the lion's share by now! Not that she shouldn't have a sensible conversation with you though!

Is she selling for more than you bought (or at let aiming to)?

Good advice - shame you're in a nasty situation. Can you get your tack/ equipment back at least and sell that to get some money back - do you have/ can you get a bank statement that shows you withdrawing cash to pay for your half of the horse?

Try not to sink to her level but perhaps make it clear that you will have to warn all potential buyers that come to try him that there is a question mark over his ownership and that will make selling difficult so it might be sensible for her to resolve this before people start to come and view.

What is it you want back - just the money you put in or half of sales proceeds? Have you been doing half of the work? Will she agree to give you some?
 
Well, I wouldn't say I've done half the work, but neither has she, to be honest. We've both just ridden him once (he's the "yard horse") so is used by others. I just want 1/4 of what she gets for him. I worked so hard to get that money! It was £180!!
It was originally to pay for the vet bill of another yard horse (I didn't have to, but it was a fund raiser). That's why Im so upset :(
 
Difficult, is it worth losing a friend over? If you'd have given the money towards a vet bill you'd not have got anything back - so in some way you've not lost anything. Life is really unfair sometimes - you just have to pick the battles you want to fight!!
 
So youve part purchased this horse, and the cost to you was £180?

Apart from that youve bought the odd thing for him, mucked out a bit and not contributed to the livery costs?
 
She's not my friend! It's YM...
I thought she was my friend at the time, but over the last few months she's shown her true colours. Honestly, she's been so childish, which makes me want it even more. Had she gone about it calmly, I would have probably waved it and given up. But when she texts things like "So sue me! HA" it makes me so cross and upset. She's been really abusive and aggressive :( telling me to stay away from her and "hurry up ad get that horse off my yard"

It just sounds like its not worth bothering about.
£180 it useull money but it'd not much really.
You've bought a few things.

Forget it, dont rise to her level.
Move your current horse asap.

If you really think you deserve it.
Then take the owed money from your final bill.
 
If i were you id take back whatever you have bought (tack ect) as they are still yours. Then just forget about the £180 and get her out of your life.
 
Who incurred the vets bill originally and needed bailing out? If it was the old YO who subsequently gave you Ned for free i would call it quits

If it was the YM i would hold it back from your last bill and tell her to sue you

To be honest the place sounds like a shambles

You are better off out of there and if things go pear shaped next time you leave i would push through the bad times and not be tempted to return!
 
I'm amazed that you went back frankly, the yard is badly run, and the quicker you move out, the better. Forget about the money, take back the tack that is yours and get your field sorted asap before you find Ned tied up to the gate!!
Did you get his x-rays done?
