TNJ.............. With the Horses Gone....What's Left??

Part One

With the horses out of the way, it was time to work on other aspects of this case. There were circumstances that clearly affected the charges which needed to be defined and attitudes that needed to be exposed. There were also foundations for evidence that needed to be laid and these admissions were a great way to accomplish that.

I went through all of these the same as I had for the horses. I wanted BG and WF to acknowledge what they did or didn't do, where they were or whatever their behaviors had been. It was important to define what my role had been with my horses as well. Then based on their acceptance or denial I would know which direction I needed to go to prove my side of this case. I was very much using these admissions to set them up for the fall they so deserved.

I began on the work I did with my horses at BG's facility and how the horses actually got there .
148.During the course of this contract most of the time MiKael Caillier groomed the horses before they were worked.
149.During the course of this contract most of the time MiKael Caillier tacked up the horses before they were worked.
150.During the course of this contract most of the time MiKael Caillier cooled the horses out after they were worked.
151.During the course of this contract most of the time MiKael Caillier untacked the horses after they were worked.
152.In the equine community the grooming, tacking, cooling out and untacking are services considered to be included in training fees.
153.During the course of this contract with limited exceptions MiKael Caillier has transported the horses to and from X Arabians.
154.An exception to this would be Reflection who was at X Arabians in a full care stall through May 25, 2009.

Then I addressed the issue of the horse living in the pen. It was important to get them to state that the board being charged as a full care stall actually was for that additional horse that stayed in the pen. I didn't want them to pull a fast one later and state is was the board for Reflection. Not that I couldn't deal with that issue but because it would help to have them on two misrepresentations instead of just one and it would avoid confusion for the court over board.
155.During part of the time Reflection was boarded, for his convenience, BG kept another horse belonging to MiKael Caillier in a pen in the arena or outside under the cover behind the barn.
156.MiKael Caillier told BG she could not afford to pay board for another horse.
157. BG said he would not charge for this since the horse was there for his convenience
158.BG further stated since MiKael Caillier was paying full care board for Reflection, he could keep a horse in a pen without charge.
159.On the accounting sheet provided by BG, MiKael Caillier was charged $325 for a pen.
160.X Arabians regular charge for one of these pens is $225.
161.No horse stayed on the premises of X Arabians after May 25, 2009.

From there I wanted to define as many reasons I could remember that BG had cancelled working my horses. The following admission are only a small sampling of those I had in my document but they will give you an idea of I did them to cover the complete assortment of reasons, including breeding the dog and taking care of puppies, BG did not work my horses.
166.In the late fall of 2008 BG cancelled working horses to deliver a horse trailer with a purebred Arabian mare, K M (hereinafter Missy), inside to the ferry in Bellingham.
167.Missy’s owner compensated BG for this service.
194.In 2009 BG cancelled working horses on many days to evaluate horses for clients. 195. In 2009 BG cancelled working horses on many days to locate horses for MM that she might purchase for resale in Alaska.
196.MM compensated BG for this service.
197.From the beginning of the contract, BG cancelled working horses on many days to go to doctor appointments.
198.From the beginning of the contract, BG cancelled working horses on many days to go to chiropractor appointments.

I hoped by pointing out to the court that BG had indeed been compensated for many of his trips, it would make it easier for the court to see BG's would be aware he had done other things. I tend to remember those things I get paid for, I'm pretty sure BG did. I hoped that would help the court see missing days was no oversight on BG's part. It was a deliberate attempt to pad the charges.

To be continued...........................

This colt is Scandalous Legend. He was Leg's first colt and absolutely huge. His legs were so long he couldn't figure them out. It took Dave, the vet AND me to get him to his feet. The legs just went everywhere but where they belonged. However, once he was up, belive me, he was up. This picture was taken about an hour after he finally got his legs figured out. Pretty catty for a dumb colt who took hours to teach to get to his feet.
